I have this Traynor YVC-40 40watts guitar combo who needs a little optimize. The bright and soft sound in the amp is killing me and I search for a little more dirty sound in it.

The diagram is here.

I have bought new tubes but not jet put them in.
Three 12AX7 Tung-Sol for the preamp stage and two Svetlana 6L6GC for the power stage.

Link didn't work for me.

A pedal in front of it won't do it for ya'? Another option is to mess with the bias until there's enough crossover distortion to cut hardwood. Makes a lead break cut through the mix.

Have you changed the tubes?

Try 3 silicone diodes in parallel with R109 resistor (2 in series in parallel with another going in opposite direction)

1N914 for example.

Edit: R109 resistor

No, it was completely stock, right off the shelf.

Which speakers came in yours?
