Har hittat lite info om förstegsrör på Billm's hemsida om Fender Blues Jr (
http://billmaudio.com/wp/?page_id=131&c ... omment-408)
Ungefär så här skriver han.
Rörposition V1:
- Many 5751s sound warmer or rounder than 12AX7s.
- 5751 or 12AY7 don’t give you more clean headroom.
- The 12AT7 is designed with heavier plates and lower internal resistance, which affects the frequency response of the preamp stage, dulling the highs. Some people like that.
- The 12AU7 has even lower internal resistance than the 12AT7, and even less gain, so it makes for a very dark and quiet amp.
Rörposition V2:
- Putting a lower-gain tube into V2 is pretty much the same thing as turning down your master volume.
Rörposition V3:
- Both the 12AY7 and 12AT7 can be used in the phase inverter position if you want less drive to your output tubes. Both tubes have a darker tone than 12AX7.
- 12DW7/ ECC832 in V3 drives the output tubes unequally, which causes distortion pretty much all the time. There’s more output stage distortion as a result because the waveform is asymmetrical. So you do in fact get more breakup at lower volume, or more accurately, a thicker tone.
Ovanstående avser alltså Fender Blues Jr, men bör väl kunna gälla även andra liknande stärkare (t ex min Laney LC15).
Är det någon som har testat något av detta, och som kan konfirmera eller dementera?
