I have a tube question. I have a Peavey triple XXX head and would like to know how much the sound will differ by changing to EL84's instead of the stock 6L6's. Also changing the stock 12AX7's. What brand tubes would be the best, and are there different tonal qualities between the brands? I guess you could say I'm looking for somewhat of a marshall crunch but with the extra edge the XXX adds. I would also love to be able to achieve a bluesy marshall crunch as well. One more question....the distortion channels don't respond to the volume knob of my guitar (PRS custom 22) very well (as in going from moderate gain to slight crunch/bluesy to clean). Would changing the tubes out help this out? Any help will be greately appreciated!

Thanks
