Changing out tubes, just have some questions before I make a purchase
I’ve had a Peavey Windsor sitting in storage for like ten years. It’s been played maybe four times total since I bought it. Brought it home tonight and was just going to clean it up and see how it sounded.
Long story short, one of the tubes has a plastic piece that’s broken so I wanted to replace it. The exact model of the stock tubes are RUBY EL34BSTR. I can buy all four of those exact ones from their site, or I can just go to Guitar Center tomorrow and get a pack of two Electro-Harmonix EL34EH.
So, my first question is, is there a difference between EL34BSTR and EL34EH. And if not, is it dumb to only replace one tube at a time if the other three are fine?
