Hmmm...  I can't say I agree.  My Orange sounds amazing with just 2 EL34s.  Maybe it depends on the amp?

Mark.

it most definately depends on the amp. But most often, pulling valves will give you bad tone. The best example i can think of is a peavey 5150. Holy cr@p it sounds bad when you pull em.... but its really sensitive to power tube changes.

You can always test ti and see if you like it, but dont get yer hopes up... (unless you have an orange :p)
my maxon OD 808 really DOES make poop sound good

damn right!!!

My Orange is from 1971, and is probably the least sophisticated bit of kit going.  Modern amps are going to have so much more going on that changing the circuit in that way will probably have a massive effect....
