The head is actually sounding quite dead. The tubes in there are over a decade old, and I find myself using the bright switch, which I never used before. I think it's just high time I replace the tubes, as I've been using this as my primary amp for the last 3 years now. Thanks for the info, I...

So it's high time I replaced the tubes in my SVTII, and I was wondering what tubes I should get. I use JJ's in an old Silvertone 1485 and they've been spectacular. Ampeg (or actually Loud Tech.) actually recommended SED tubes, but then Ampeg put these in that Heritage series SVT head, and they...
