Anyone know where I might find some spice models for these tubes?
6X4
6V6
12AX7
12AU7
I got a bunch of new transformers off ebay, and I'm contemplating my first scratch amp build. But I want to model some stuff first to check out what works best together.
Regards,

Re: Spice models for tubes.
A minute of Googling will get you tube models.
But with that said, the software you use is as important as the models you use. I used to use Altium Designer because of its thorough parts library (including a good handful of tubes) and overall power but I recently made the switch to NI Multisim, something which actually started after I figured out they have MORE tube models that are more accurate and just about everything one needs to build an entire amp in simulation. Unfortunately, unless you have some spare $$$ laying around (read: Altium is $10k+ a year for parties or $150 a month just for a single user license! and Multisim is ~$2600 for the full shabang) then you might end up using illegal means to acquire said software pieces..

Hi, I tried to google but I couldn't find them... maybe I'm searching wrong.
I'm using LTSpice, since it's free.
