[B]How long has it been since you changed them? I once went two years without changing mine...they weren't rusty or anything, but I definately noticed an improvement once they were changed.

I havnt changed them for about 3 weeks but i try to change them every 2 weeks. My hands rust string very quickly. Also i think my house i very damp which cause my strings to rust a lot quicker.
I know this other guy that had to change his strings almost every week and then he moved house and hasnt had to change his strings for a few months.
By virtue of their electrical properties, tubes generate a special waveform when they're saturated, which is why tube engineering has tremendous tonal advantages over solid state or DSP solutions, particularly for crunch and lead sounds. Tubes enter the saturation zone gradually or softly, which lends tube-driven tone its trademark yet totally unique character.
