Rogue Owners Unite

Would the Magnum 66 be comparable to a stock 99 or is it like comparing apples to oranges? Also, how would you describe the change in sound going from the 12au7 to the E80cc tube and which unit do you have Greg? Thanks in advance. Brad

Greg, I haven't been able to find the E80cc tube anywhere.
Is it available anywhere?

Has anyone done the magnum upgrade to an 88 amp? How did it compare to the stock 88?

Buckingham: E80CC is not a direct replacement for 12AU7. They often come up on Ebay offered by sellers in Europe. I am looking into modifying a Pilot 232 power amp to run one in place of it's 12AU7, hoping that it will flesh out the tone a bit (make an EL84 amp sound more like an EL34 amp:-). The E80CC uses the same pin out (I think) and it is taller than a 12AU7.

Bradz, the tube can be bought at the tube store, and Dekay is right ,its not a direct replacement, but you can use it in the 66 after you have Mark change the fuse out on the line stage. If you don`t do this it will blow the fuse after a few days, and you will end up changing it . The sound of the unit with the tube in it is awesome , the bass is tighter the mids are about the same ,the top end is extended. the tube also sounded to me more transparant. It also has more gain, the dynamics are much better. You will like the Magnum 66 on its on , but that tube is very good, another tube to try is the 7316, I have not tried it , but the word is, this is a good tube as well. Do the Mod and you`ll like the unit much better.
