I have also limited my rolling to 12AX7/ECC83 after inquiring with Mike at Quicksilver. I’ve also followed his advice and stuck to EL84/6BQ5 output tubes. I don’t know very much about using tubes that an amp wasn’t designed for, but I have decided to stick with what Mike recommends.
That being said, there are some great choices out there even within the stock tube families, 12AX7 and EL84. I’ve tried 5 or 6 types of each and have found some great sounding combinations. The stock setup is surprisingly good considering the tubes being used, but I’ve found some vintage tubes that take it to another level for my preferences.
