I do still prefer old long plate Sylvania 12AX7s in my ‘89 Pacific transformer equipped Express in all 3 positions. However when I got my ‘85 Express it had last been retubed with help from KF himself. I’m not sure what they are actually but I think one is a Tungsram, a Mullard, and not sure on the 3rd. The ‘85 sounds so good with those tubes they are staying but I did try swapping the tubes between the amps, but put them back right where they were!
