Which premium selected tube choice is particularly suitable for Fender?

With Fender, selected V1 tubes plus cleanly paired power tubes often pay off more than unnecessarily high preamp gain. This fits especially well with models such as Deluxe Reverb, Princeton Reverb, Twin Reverb, Vibrolux Reverb, ’59 Bassman, Hot Rod Deluxe, Blues Junior or Vibro-King, where, depending on the amp, mainly 6V6GT, 6L6GC, EL84, 12AX7 / ECC83, 12AT7 / ECC81, partly 12AU7 / ECC82, 5AR4 / GZ34 and, in individual concepts, also KT66 are relevant. For an independent BTB line, this means: in V1, a selected 12AX7 with normal gain (S4GB), the 7025 or 12AX7WB often work particularly well, while in the power stage S4GB Highgrade power tubes for 6V6GT, 6L6GC or EL84 are useful for stability, matching and a reliable Fender-typical basic character. All tubes suitable for Fender are available from BTB in selected quality, on request also as S4GB handselected / matched power tubes
