{hey guys. Basically i have just purchased a Randall RG50TV all valve amp. I would like to change all the Valves to something more substantial. as the Electro harmonix tubes inside are pretty subpar.

I want tubes that will give the most amount of gain and that are readily available commerically.

I need 3 12AX7 preamp tubes and 2 EL34 poweramp tubes.

Also another question. This amp is built as a meduim gain amp. Ok for early 80s metal But not much else. WHat decides the amount of gain in the amp? Is it a single component? Is it the Valves? Is it possible for the example to increase the gain through a safe mod of the electronics?

Rob

Put an overdrive in front of it. Or buy a pickup booster to slam the front end(preamp).

Well i have a DOD ygwie malmsteen pedal. But in fact it makes it quieter. Id rather have more gain IN the amp then an external solution.

so you bought it, and immediately weren't satisfied with it

...maybe you should have play tested more

Does that make you the pot or the kettle.
