My main amp is a Laney Pro Tube head, 100w, all tube. Its got 4 JJ's EL34L and 2 Electro Harmonix 12AX7EH's in the V1 and V2, and then two JJ ECC83S tubes in the V3 and V4.
The Electro Harmonix tubes sound wonderful, I love them in this amp. But. . .they are very very dim compared to the other tubes, you can barely see any light at all being emitted from them when the amp is on. The JJ's glow regularly, and no matter where any of my Electro Harmonix tubes are placed, they simply dont glow much at all! The thing sounds WONDERFUL, but. . .I did have it fail on me the other day, but all was fixed when replaced the Electro Harmonix tubes out of it.
So. . .it leads me to believe that the EH tubes simply aren't compatable with other tubes in the same amp. Its very strange, and I REALLY want to use the Electro Harmonix because they are the best sounding, lowest noise tubes I have.
Can anyone help me sort this out? thanks!
