Tortured tubes = heaven!
Precisely! But i'm more a EL34 guy, i like that a bit tighter and sharper sound that come with'em. You got more preamp tubes in this little thing than i've got in my 2203. What you gonna do with that? Rock the next Heavy Metal festival? :-). Blue dog, hm sounds to me like some G12-H30 Celestion?
Ok i'm a 80s/early 90s metal freak, i love my 2203, because i wanna sound more like a guitar, not like "satan is storming the castle". My one is built in '83, the cab is from about '85 with 4x G12-T75.
Got 2x Tung Sol ECC83/12AX7 in V1 and V2, and a JJ ECC803S for the V3. Power Amp tubes are 4x SED Winged C EL34

Oh yeah and of course to be in heaven, amps master volume is about 9/10. That tortures the SEDs and the last stage of the JJ (phase inverter) enough

Saxophones, hmhm, i like that kind of sound. Also like the sound of a violin much. I can't stand pianos to long, but i don't know why.
