Good idea, but something tells me you're not going to like the 5751. I'll wait for your assessment.

Koch Little Gristle - Killer amp for intensive daily use in (and out) of jazz

I didn’t think it was an improvement. The EL34 sounded fuller, punchier, livelier. I intend to try a 6L6 and a KT88 one day but am in no hurry because the EL34 sounds killer.

Some amps can take a few different power tubes without adjustment, because they are cathode-biased. My Swart AST can do this. I haven't tried it, as anything other than the stock 6V6s will be...

I concur. Your experience with the 12AT7 was pretty much the same as mine with the 4024 - it was just not crunchy enough for me. But what a sweet tone! As you suggest, it may be better to evaluate...

Thanks. What did the 6V6 do to the sound?

Bit confused - block chords involve inversions? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Inversions

That's an interesting POV the OP has. Personally, as still really a beginner at guitar, the *only* things I play when comping are inversions. Not as a rule, you know, but 90% of the time that's...

Excellent instruments can be had in that range, especially when buying used. Based on this price range I’ll echo the Eastman 580 CE once more. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NBrWfUiUmW4

Looking for a "jazz box"

Many common power tubes use the same socket, except the EL84. I also asked Koch about tube swapping and the amp can handle it. I’ve already tried a 6V6 in mine but prefer the stock EL34. I did swap...
