Seems I missed this comment. What this mod you speak of ? I know what the cold clipper is, but I never really looked into what people have done to it. Kind of figured I wouldn't bother modding this amp.
I would try a JJ ECC83, the normal one. I don't like it for a lot of things but I find it's a good V1. Also like the JJ ECC83MG, MG is mid gain, which means it has a bit of a boost in the mids compared to other tubes which can be a good range to drive the rest of the preamp with. Again, it's all subjective.
Is this a Canadian version ? The extra fuses and metal toggle switches are why I ask. Only quick view of the vid so far... so sorry if you answered this in your vid.
Oh, it'll work yeah, but not the best combination. I don't like the ECC83S in the 800. I prefer ECC803S is V1 and V2, and a Tung-Sol 12AX7 in V3. The E34L are a solid choice for power. I also like the JJ 6CA7 if you want a darker top end.
Cold clipper mod is awesome. Easy to do & easy to reverse.
My $.02

Although it isn't about the specific amp in the video, what preamp tube(s) would you recommend for the V1 ("overdrive tube") of a Dual Rectifier?

Yup, it would be Canadian.
We definitely need to play with some tubes with both my 2 amps and I have some special gear for you to play with... tube distortion pedals anyone? :)
What pedal is that ?
@@DATT I have 4 of them. Bricks pedals from AMT. I think you'll dig these
Hi sir , me i taking all JJ tubes but E34L + ECC83 hi gain tubes.
Admittedly, I'm not sure I understand what you are saying.
Are you referencing something I said in the video ?
@@DATT I wanted to said , is this correct to use all JJ tubes - E34L + ECC83S high gain.
