I am another who could just not bond with the MKV90, well at least in terms of channel 3. The massive "mod" thread regarding the AT7 is what got me interested in purchasing a V. So, I did, and no matter what I did, I just couldn't get what I expected (after reading the entire thread over and...

Where on earth did you find Mullard 12AX7A tubes? I can find 12AX7 and CV4004, but zero "A" tubes anywhere. And.....have you checked out the new JJ tubes yet? Eagerly awaiting your opinion on those.

I got my Dyne head used years ago. The first thing I did was a tube swap. I already knew I wanted an EL34 power section, so I went with Tung Sol EL34Bs. For the preamp section, I put Tung Sols in all slots except for the PI slot, where I installed a Sovtek 12AX7LPS. That combination of tubes...

I just saw the C90s on Mesa's site...still available. I have 2 for sale, so I was wondering if I should up my price, lol! Personally, I use 3 different speakers, depending on the amp. Most of the time, I use an EVM12L along with a Celestion Redback. I have a Mesa vertical 2x12 with one of each...

Somewhere, I have some used 415s. I tried them in my V90 before I sold it and was blown away. I may have to dig for them and pop them into my JP2C. Aren't those new 448s actually TAD Redbase tubes?

I think that assumption about the TC50 pretty much nails it. I decided to get the BL25 combo to use as a "grab and go" amp. I have plenty of heads and cabs, but very few combos. I am not disappointed in the slightest with my purchase decision. Several years ago, I was considering the V35...

I've used my BL25 at several gigs this summer. It never disappointed me in the slightest. Just pure rock tones all night long. It even handled my acoustic sim pedal like a champ. I sometimes have a little buyer's remorse that I didn't get the 50 watt head instead of the 25 watt combo. Not so...

In this world of acronyms, you have nailed it Bandit! Even though I was literally laughing out loud, I also agree with you 100%. I love all the tones I get from not only my Mesa amps, but with (shocker) my Kemper as well. But, yes, corporate marketing seems to target our self-created need to...

When I was using my Vai Legacy combo, I replaced all my preamp tubes to the LPS. That was literally my first time experimenting with tubes. My factory tubes were bad from day 1 and I had no idea. I just had little sound or really crappy sound. When I was searching for tubes, something I read at...

I've still got a handful of JAN/Phillips 12AT7s and I believe I have a Mullard 12AX7 in my stash somewhere. Thanks for the suggestions!

Exactly! That's my dilemma for this summer. Which amp to take to which gig. I want to rotate them all, so I guess it will be a dice roll. Just need to assign numbers 1-6 on each amp.

I have a habit of putting a Sovtek 12AX7LPS in the PI slot of most of my amps. I read about that tube years ago and just stuck with it. Any suggestions for a different/better PI tube?

There are 2 ED heads and a rackmount on Reverb FWIW. Both heads are the full-sized heads (like mine). I would love to find the smaller headshell and swap the chasis out.

I had no clue, but it makes me smile to thing MB is using that same circuit. I did know the RA had a similar circuit, and the RA was actually my first choice for an amp. But, I found the ED and I felt like that was more what I was after. Had no experience with either amp before and still have...
