In Reply to: Tube rolling preamp or power amp gain tubes, which ones (or both)? posted by 2121@comcast.net on January 16, 2017 at 04:46:39:
My personal findings:
rolling the smaller driver tubes has an effect but not the "big" effect you would think. It seems to have more of an effect on distortion and clarity.
The only effect on tone seemed, again to ME!, was if it was there or not! Like a poor treble or weak midrange. But did it have a "tone" effect - na!
The real texture and character, again to me! seemed to be more from the output tubes.
But you do need a GOOD driver tube!!!!! for the reasons I just explained. For clarity and a good balance going into the output tubes.
