It's a matter of style and taste. When I first got my LSS i couldn't get chan 2 to sound the way I wanted (which I'm sure is different than what anyone else might want). I have a number of guitars, but my 2 main ones are 1) A 2011 LP Traditional but the only the body neck and bridge are...

Mine's been in the shop twice. The first the resister grid blew, and the tech did the factory recommended mod (I also had one of the early ones). 2 months ago I blew some circuitry after replacing the rectifier tube. It's fuzzy what the story there is, but people on this board have...

I'm glad to see a response from Mesa, and I mean that sincerely. So I'm puzzled; is the tune on the Web page which specifically names the LSS a JJ? If not, why advertise it for the LSS? My tech was told by the Warranty dept to use a solid state rectifier "because modern rectifier tubes are...

And for laughs: http://www.mesaboogie.com/tubes/rectifier-tubes/5Y3.html Advertising it for the LSS, and telling my tech on the phone that it's likely to fail.

Well, I bought 3 NOS 5Y3 JAN tubes (to have 2 spares). I have back the tone I fell in love with. Don't let anybody tell you that a solid state rectifier sounds the same. With the tubes it's not nearly as harsh, seems like better sustain, all around sweeter. I did have to turn the volumes...

Mesa recommends a mod "not guaranteed to forestall trouble" that involves cutting a trace and putting in a resistor. I had a bad cell phone connection, but from what I can gather the 30 watt setting uses a solid state rectifier and the 5W and 15W settings use the 5Y3. The mod and the resistor...

Thanks for the response. Mine has the mod, installed by my tech as directed by Mesa a number of years ago. Any idea of a good source for NOS 5Y3s?

For the second time, my LSS fuse blew, smoke out the back, and some damage. Turned out to be the rectifier tube, which was from Mesa and was only in the amp for a little over a month. My amp tech is Mesa certified. When he spoke to the factory they told him the LSS can't handle the "newer...
