Hello, I am hoping that someone out there can help me.
I have just purchased a Yamaha T-50c Soldano designed 1x12 combo. I am trying to figure out which tubes would be the best to install as the existing ones are quite old (and I don't know the history). The power amp section takes 2 x 6L6GC's and the preamp takes 7 x 12AX7's. I am looking to coax those Robben Ford-Scott Henderson type tones out of this amp and not a really high gain sound. This amp is generally thought of as a "high gain" specialist, but I would love to "tame" it with the proper tubes if that is in fact possible. Maybe a speaker swap as well.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts!

i would suggest finding the forum for yamaha and/or soldano...

other than that, replacing choice positions of the 12ax7's with 12AT7's will clean it up a bit....

biasing......
some internal mods......

there are lots of ways of going about this.

1st and foremost, turn the gain down!!

turn the master UP!!

let the amp breathe.

Thanks man! I have posted in some other gear-specific forums and gotten some great suggestions. There are sooooooo many choices among tubes and speakers. I posted here primarily because as Henderson appreciators, I figured we'd have a common "tone mindset."
Thank you again!
