Hey guys
I Just bought a Laney cub12 today and what i couldn't notice in the store was the small amount of breakup that the amp gets (when gain is on 4 or 5). now i would love to run the amp full gain and roll back the volume a bit to get it to be clean, but with my SZ (humbuckers) this doesn't work
Now, can i try putting 5751 tubes in there (instead of 12AX7) without causing any damage to the amp? cause those have a gain factor of 70% so i can effectively drop the gain, (max gain is too much anyways) and be able to roll back my volume so that i can effectively have a clean and dirty sound, not a dirty, and dirtier...
I've heard also that 12AT7 are actually not a direct replacement for 12AX7 and people just assume so cause of the model number. Is this true?
Next question is, has anybody else found the Cub12 with the rocket 50 speaker to be a little muddy? i don't know if this will get better the more the speaker breaks in, but its what Im finding. Unless I have bad tubes in...
Anyways though, I have found a V30 for very cheap, and I'm thinking of swapping the speaker, but the V30 is 16 ohm and the stock cub 12 is 8 ohm. Is there a ohm selector in the amp so that I can use a 16 ohm speaker?
Thanks for the help and time guys!
