+1 to Minky or even a 12AT7. I like it to stay clean until after 12:00 (at least) I'll feed the front with a little compressor gain or a light overdrive if a little breakup is needed. I've used 12Au7/12AT7/12AY7 and even a JJ ECC802S in the V1 position. Depending on what I'm looking for I'll cascade up a notch in each position. I have my Blackheart BH15H with a 12AU7 in V1 and a 12AT7 in V2 and it stays clean until 3:00, through 8-10's it thumps pretty good. If I wanted more grit I'd drop the 12AT7 into V1 and put a 12AX7 into V2. Lots to play with there for not too many ducats and they're all easy substitutes. The power loss isn't that great but the tone will definately get more HiFi which isn't every guitarists cup o tea...I like it though
