Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has done mixing and matching with pre amp tubes. For example, you have short gray plate, long gray plate, short and long black. They all have their own sonic qualities. If you mixed gray and black, would you get a little of each tube contributing it's "flavor"? Also, does the halo contribute to the sound?
I just scored a pair of NOS RFT EL-84 Funkwerks from E germany, 3 12ax7 From Raytheon short gray plates, and 2 Raytheon Black plate.
I was thinking I would put say 2 black and 1 gray or 2 gray and 1 black for a set of 3 preamp tubes when my Marshall clone is complete.
