EBS_freak Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Mullard 12AXY - low noise floor, smooth drive... although I quite like a 12AT7 - for less gain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffbyrne Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 If you like *slightly* less gain, try a 5751 instead of the 12AT7 also said by some to give the best tone of all those types - personal preference obviously. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBS_freak Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) This may be of use - [url="http://www.thetubestore.com/Gain-Factor"]http://www.thetubest...com/Gain-Factor[/url] Although for bass amps (or should I say for lower frequencies as opposed to "bass amps"), I think the nuances are not so great as on a guitar amp (higher frequencies).
