Do certain tubes for tube amps that you can buy offer more distortion?
I have a Marshall MG...miles better than a crate or Peavey I'd say, but probably the biggest piece of junk in the Marshall inventory. I really like the idea of getting a vintage Marshall such as a JMP 50 or 1987x reissue due to the natural overdrive and the simplicity and minimalism of the preamp controls. Of course, to get the overdrive it has to be cranked and all. In addition to having a 50 watt head, and maybe a special pickup, I'm wondering if certain tubes you can buy would break the amp up sooner. If you could get a tube like that would it compromise the sound of the marshall?
The 1987 is a non-master model, but the JMP series offered master and non-master models. If you want early breakup just get one of the early master models from 76-81 or one of the early JCM800 masters. I always thought the 50 watt masters broke too early. I preferred the 100 watt. It just depends whether you're an Angus or Malcolm tone guy. Angus usually used 50, Malcolm used 100. Running at 16 ohms, it's not really THAT loud. It's controllable.
If you still want tubes that break early, look for tubes with a low gain rating. In tubes, your gain rating is actually a "head room" rating. Guitarists just get it backwards. You might check out the descriptions at tube amp depot. Just type it into your search engine. They have good descriptions of the tubes, and they do extensive testing on the tubes before they sell them. If they say "early breakup" in the description, you can take them at their word. They run the tests at the same bias in the same amp. They would know.
