Sterile is a good description, the audio guys do love these.

Try the Telefunkens in the driver position. These tubes are usually very
balanced,
even in Fenders calling for 12AT7s, these should be excellent.

I think you will like the Mullards in the first gain stage of your
Fenders. They tend to have lots of gain, especially in the mids around
1k.

Regards, Tim.

 

Buy the Book!

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
