    Help Suggest Tubes for Bad Amp...

    Ok, so probably two and a half years ago I bought this amp, its a B-52 AT-100 combo. It sounded good in the store and for awhile when it was back at my place. But gradually is just really began to suck. So I took it too Guitar Center, the place where I bought it, and the guys gave us some tubes and we installed them, note, I'm an amature when it comes to tubes, my main amp is a Vetta 2.
    So, since the guys at my local music stores are more interested in selling quantity and not quality, I come before you forum members.
    Ultimately I want to sell the amp, but I want to get new tubes for it before I get rid of the thing.


    AT-212 Tube Chart
    Power:
    Preamp:
    Phase-Inverter:
    Reverb:
    Effects-Loop:
    Rectifier:
    4 – 6L6 / 5881
    4 – 12AX7
    1 – 12AX7
    1 – 12AX7
    1 – 12AX7
    1 – 5AR4

    These are the kinds of tubes it takes, the information taken from the B-52 website.

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Thank you.

    JJ makes a great 6L6 and 12AX7, and they're not very expensive.

    I've done business with Doug for several years and he's top notch. Tubes geared to your sound - Doug's Tubes

    If your amp is bias adjustable, it would be a good idea to have that done along with the new set of output tubes.
