Just got this little beauty in the mail. This is my first experience with an actual class A amp and it's definitely taking some getting used to. I really like the tones I'm getting with it but it seems to break up a little to early for me while using humbuckers (not so with single coils) with the gain run low and the master cranked. Should I consider dropping some 12at7's in the preamp in place of the 12ax7's? I actually like using my Bad Monkey for overdrive on this one more than the natural grit.

What exactly is your question? If it is just "Will the AT7s lower gain enough to where I can use my Bad Monkey for drive instead of the amp's distortion?", then yes, you can and should.

 

 

 

Or, learn how to discharge the filter caps and get to modding it until you like how it sounds.
