New Tubes
Here are some tubes that I am looking at, they come with specs, matched pair etc... For ESX 1... Do I get better sound out of it? Is it worth it?

I can't say the ECC83s will be suited to the ESX because the stock tubes didn't suit the Mx at all imo but they sound good on the SX!



I don´t think korg designed both machines so different to get such a big difference between them...
If you got the EMX ROM samples loaded into the ESX I bet both machines will sound almost identically...
The EMX ROM samples are available somewhere in the net...I don´t remember where but it´s not hard to find them...and I could remember some topic about it in the forum...

I'll have to try that.i was going to resample the EMX to see but i'll see if i can find the rom samples and load those straight in.Here's the thing,i turned up the tube gain full on the SX and there was no perceivable distortion but i when turned it up on the MX you could hear it,not nearly as bad as wih the old tubes but a big difference between the two..anselmi wrote:I don´t think korg designed both machines so different to get such a big difference between them...

I'll record some more samples if anyone wants them for the SX.Sorry for the OT soundklinik!Tell you what,i'll put my GTs in the SX and see how they sound.I'll record some clips with both sets and post them up later.

There's more gain with the GTs.The sound is a lot clearer and overall they sound a bit smoother and punchier.Much more subtle than on the MX but a definite improvement.I read another post saying the JJs reduced the volume but it increased with the GTs so maybe the GTEEC83s are better suited to the tribes,they sound good on both the MX and the SX and are worth getting
I'll have to get another set now!
