As per my username I play a USA std Tele which has the broadcaster bridge pickup and twisted tele neck model. I seriously hate humbuckers and find the top end way too rolled off and the midrange much too congested for my liking. I've been talking to an amp builder and I'm curious as to which output valve to select. I'm in tone heaven when my single coils just reproduce my take on Jeff Healey guitar tones and songs. The lower output justs unclutters the midrange and you can hear individual notes in chords rather than a block sound, and the top end is extended, sweet and pure. My drive stomp is a maxon od808 set drive 0% and volume 50% so it's used as a clean boost that just gives a little more. If you think of that bell like purity and tones that Philip Sayce and Jeff Healey displayed in their music am i better off with el34s or 6l6s ?
Thanks for any suggestions.
