    Yeah the SB trips me out in that way, only amp I've used with only one driver tube. Feels... wrong coming from something like a Valhalla 2. Not a problem if you're just buying one, though!

    Did you fix the SB not powering on with a fuse swap?

    Think of it like this: the best things in life do not come in pairs (even less matched)

    Yeah ok you got me there but hey they are not always matched, different size or different placement of nipples, but regardless I agree and better than tubes, sometimes even hotter

    You’re not alone. I would take the other half and set it aside as a spare. Or rotate them.

    I currently have 3 amps that take only one 12au7. My 12au7 stash is ruined :(…

    Many audio tubes are dual triode, so in some amps, one side gets hit harder than others. I know in some guitar amps, the other side might not even used.
