I was asking Martin Nolan (the guy who repairs amps for Musicmaker) if I needed to replace a dodgy tube in my Mesa Subway with a Mesa brand tube.
He said that actually there's no real difference between one tube & another & that a lot them are made in the same place (Russia) but just have different logos printed on them.
If you read online, though, you'd think that putting a set JJ Tesla's into your Marshall transforms it into a suoeramp!
Is it just that by the time most people put these high end tubes in, it's because their old ones were fucked so even if they replaced them with energy saving light bulbs it was going to sound better or is there really something special about the JJ Tesla's?
