Members type2guy Posted June 1, 2008 Members Share Posted June 1, 2008 Just got a 50watt Marshall JCM 900 SL-X. It's a 5881 power tube model. It's currently got marshall ecc83 pre-amp tubes and GT-6L6S power tubes. The power tubes need to be replaced. I think one of 'em is bad. Thought I'd go ahead and retube the whole thing. So....what pre-amp and power tubes would be a good choice? KT-88's? 5881's? EL-34's? Which 12AX7's would be good? Thanks for suggestions and help.

Members SLfreak Posted June 1, 2008 Members Share Posted June 1, 2008 I'd be tempted to experiment a little on a 50-watter. KT77's are pretty much my favorite tube at the moment. I use the JJ's as I've had good experiences but there's plenty of good choices out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members type2guy Posted June 2, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 2, 2008 OK. Read a little bout the KT77's. Sound like something I might like. I usually am an el34 guy....but think the KT77's might be a good fit for me and this particular model marshall. I TOTALLY dig the sound the SL-X has. Can't wait to hear it with some fresh tubes.
