You don't need matched preamp tubes. If you want new tubes, just get some JJ tubes from here

The power section of this amp is solid state MOSFET, so all the listed tubes are for the pre=amp only. There is a voltage adjustment knob on the amp so I can dial up more or less tube sound. I looked at an Ampeg SVT-CL all tube amp but it weighs in at a whopping 85 pounds and to re-tube it with say Winged C tubes is around $700.00. Too much weight, to expensive to maintain in my book. Besides that I play in a variety of bands with different styles of music. I don't always want a tube sound. It will be nice to dial up the tone I want.
