on without the band off with the band.

try a sovtek lps for that pi slot. or a mullard cv4024. either can be had for about 20 bux on ebay. or, get both, and put the cv4024 in the v2 slot (or the second gain stage). clarity.

onstage, what does that little bit of noise matter? not a lot. playing in a much quieter setting, it can drive you insane.

Don, great demo's. I appreciate the time and effort you guys put into them, and it's really helped me make my decision that i'm going back to mesa for my amp needs by purchasing a mark v in the near future.

i'd run the 4 ohm outs into the 16ohm cab. been doing it for years.

wow this post went south in a strange way. i think the bias pot is the way to go....but, thats just me. for some people, it might not be. if it seems intimidating, just stick with what mesa recommends and skip the mom and pop store..you''ll save yourself much headache in the fyuchah! the fyuchah!

i put soft foam inside each slot of one of my old fishing tackle storage cases. then put each tube in a slot. or even 2.

before you 3l34 it, try a cheap 7 band eq in front of the amp, in front of the 808. boost the mids to taste, and just use it for the channels you want.

agreed! too boomy, not enough mids were the complaints try an eq pedal driving the front of it....boost or cut as needed!

also, that mullard cv4024 will do magic in your clean channels. i'm actually contemplating getting 2 more and running them in v1 and v4 just to see.

i'm relatively new to re-tubing too... i got a quad of ruby 6L6 from guitar center for 50. cant beat that, and, i really like them. they're tight, big and clear sounding. look around, you can usually find matched power amp quads cheaper at some places than others. pre-amp wise...it so...

from my understanding, my egnater can take any matched power tubes...but it has built in bias adjustment...a really intuitive feature from an amp manufacturer standpoint. love that amp. love the sounds. traded a heartbreaker for it and really, honestly, haven't looked back. that being said, im...

really? what IS the general consensus then for mesa amps, only use mesa branded tubes?? sounds kinda narrowminded on mesa's part if you ask me. i only ask, cause i dont know. i dont have a mesa anymore, but popped the ruby's in my egnater and they sound phenom.

i got deleted for spam!! hahah dummy me!! anyways, if you didn't see that link i posted before, dont mess around if you are low on cash, i have a quad of these, and they really sound nice. http://www.guitarcenter.com/Ruby-6L6GC-STR-Matched-Amp-Tubes-212030-i1125583.gc
