It's no secret that Stevie played his amps cranked and preferred a little cleaner sound from the front end allowing you to hear more power tube breakup. Well, this works really well with the Egnater amps too! This kit uses a JJ 5751 for the input tube which is in-between an ECC81 and an ECC83S in gain, a standard ECC83S and a current balanced ECC83S for the phase inverter in V3 along with a matched pair of JJ 6V6S's and a matched pair of the JJ EL84's for power.
