Do Tubes Change Tone at Ellie Dow blog

Do Tubes Change Tone. At lower volumes, most of the extra “juice” we like to hear is not happening. This depends on if the power amplifier is driven hard. A quick and easy tube change can make the most dramatic tonal alteration achievable from a single component swap within our amplifiers, other than perhaps a speaker change, but unless you know a little about what different tubes can achieve sonically, that change will be entirely random. Hotter preamp tubes make your amp sound better. Does the type of power tube have a massive effect on an amp’s overall tone? Each have a distinct tone and shape. The secondary harmonics of an el34 sound different than the ones from a 6l6gc or others. Getting to know those tonal characteristics can be a huge help, whether you’re trying to track down a new amp with specific sonic traits, or just wondering whether you can change the sound and feel of an amp you own by using different power tubes (see the swapper’s delight sidebar). In this article, we're mostly going to focus on altering your amp's sonic performance by substituting different tube types to induce different gain levels.
