Forgive my cluelessness as a tube naïf! I decided to not even try substitutions or exact matches, but just stay with the 12AU7 proper until I get bored... holding off on NOS until I make the rounds of current-runs as well as I can.I just got back from a guitar shop and, uh... the Electro-Harmonix tubes kick ass. I wasn't all that impressed with their 12AX7 but the AU is stellar. The tubes that came with the Foreplay were a pair of Eis and were entirely, skull-crushingly pedestrian. I knew there was better out there because they couldn't get much more MOR, and I found some better ones. Hooray. Great buy.
