I'd say you should try picking up a JJ ECC83S Gold, then, as well as an ECC803S. The 5751 has a gain factor of 70 by spec, so about 80 and about 90 will give you two steps between that and a properly spec'd 12AX7.Exactly.
Thanks for that gain chart. I'll see what I can find but the 5751 really sounds good.
Now I gotta build a proper cabinet for my speakers.
And I think I'll make a second cab out of my old 6" champ speakers for practice. I have the original and the aftermarket Jensen. A 2x6 might be fun.
Tell me you're not still using that cab you built from a cardboard box!Now I gotta build a proper cabinet for my speakers.

That would look cool.Hell yeah! Actually, I've reinforced it quite a bit with a wood frame inside.
But now I know it works, I'll be making a decent box for it. I'm gonna copy this design more or less.

I've always liked the look of those with the rear mount speakers.
Seriously thinking about coating with spray on truck bed liner instead of using tolex, though. That stuff is indestructible.
