You know, I never bothered to try swapping the tubes, but that's a good guess. The "sweet" one has EL-34's I got from Groove Tubes, ones they specifically recommended for hi fi amps (instead of instrument amps). Really nice!! The "dry" sounding one had whatever tubes were in it from the used shop where I bought it.
That's why it's so hard to characterize the sound of these amps - so much depends on factors that pertain to a specific unit (tubes, how caps and resistors have aged, etc.).
