I think I've had this amp going on 3 years now. A WGS ET-65 12" is what this is going thru, and no matter which tubes I put in it, it just sounds amazing. This amp is a lot of fun and really lets you hear the differences among the tubes. Playing a Strat on Tweed mode, Thin and cranked with the 5881 give great headroom with just the right amount of grit when you dig in. Back off and its clean and clear and beautiful harmonic overtones ring through. Almost like I have reverb. Tude mode + Fat = classic rock crunch heaven. My "favorite" tube formula seems to change every time I try something out. I've used combos of 5751s, 12AY7s, and 12AX7s with various 6V6s, 6L6, 5881 and EL34s. They all sound good!
Anyways...enough of the "gushing"...This thing just flat out kicks butt.
