Installing a low gain tube in a Fet Valve amplifier won't change the overall gain of the amplifier, unless the tube gain is very very low. All it will do is increase distortion. The voltage amplifier section of the Fet Valve amplifiers use some loop feedback to insure uniform performance with a variety of normal output 12AT7 tubes. Lowering the tube gain substantially just reduces the amount of feedback and increases THD. With a really low gain tube bass control and dynamics will mud out.
We urge that you avoid low gain tubes in AVA products. If you must try tube rolling in a Fet Valve amp, try a set of old new stock Telefunken 12AT7 tubes. Of course they won't make much difference as they have the same gain as the JJ 12AT7 tubes we supply. We have tested them in the Fet Valve amps and can tell you that they do not require bias adjustments. Use of low gain tubes probably will as they will cause the bias current to droop too. This is not an adjustment to be attempted by a casual amateur!
