Mixing tube brands


I want to mix Two Gold Lion two KT-88 tubes and two Psvane KT-88 tubes to blend the sound. Is this a problem?

If you do try that make sure that you re-bias your tubes so that they at least match in that respect. If you can't do that don't try. Even then I wouldn't do it.

Personally speaking I generally select matched power tubes of my choice based on SQ (not so much power ratings) and make more subtle changes to their tone by selection of small tubes.
