+1 on the manual. I read mine 3 times after I downloaded off the Mesa site, before I took delivery. Congrats on a tone machine! Tony

As far as I know YJs can ONLY be used to replace other tubes WITH EL84s, not vice-versa. Tony

The RKII can cover SO many styles! I use yellowjackets with EL84's for a "Voxier" tone, in place of the "Marshallish" EL34's, but any way you look at it, there are tons of options available. It's a winner for me! Tony

Too stupid to earn a reply, huh? :oops: Oh well, so far, so good... Tony

Call & change it NOW!...& you should be OK. Tony

So, after changing cables etc., I switched it to "loop bypass" & back & now it works. Should I be concerned about this? Harbinger of problems yet to come, or just a fluke? I know it's minor, but I just want to be sure. Thanks, Tony

I put them in place of the EL34's in my RKII & LOVE 'em! I never was a fan of 34's, so it was an easy choice. Just plug N' play... Tony

I have 2-8 ohm cabs. a closed 4x12 & an open 4x10. THAT'S not the problem. I won't be redundant, but my issue is stated in my original post. I just wish I could avoid a mismatch altogether. Unfortunately, it's a case of deciding on the lesserof 2 evils..... Tony

I did & got a bunch of double speak. "It's not that simple", "That would be too much to cram in the head", "It's really not necessary", etc. I don't think they want to admit that they overlooked something so fundamental. Let's face it...if it wasn't an issue, they wouldn't have 4, 8 & 16 ohm...

Yup, that's what I'm talking about. The Boogie rep's recommendation are stated in my last post. Tony

I realize that it's safe that way, but you can't use one cab at a time & be "right". With 2-8 ohm cabs, singley they are mismatched, but correctly matched with both running, when using the 2-4 ohm jacks. In order to get a correct match when using them singley using the 8 ohm jacks, you can NOT...

When using a dual cab setup? Couldn't they have engineered an auto-switch for impedence, when using two cabs. You always have a mismatch when using individual cabs in order to prevent a dangerous mismatch when using both. This was my ONLY disappointment with my RKII. I figured you techies could...

I love my RKII, but just wanted to add that buy subbing EL84's W/ Yellowjackets for the EL34's, you can add even more tonal versatility, IMHO. Tony

Nobody?

Does anyone know the average bias voltage on the 4- 6L6's in a Road King II? Thanks, Tony

They will be going in a Road King II v2. Aren't the RK's & Recto'sin general biased pretty cold? I would THINK that would make them "safe", but I'm not as well versed in the technical aspects of tubes/amps. That's why I ask you experts. I'd hate to have them disappear, only to find out, "Those...

I have a line on a quad, but don't want to fry my baby! What do you experts think? Thanks-in-advance! Tony

I know it's only available in a trem version, but I use a Custom 24 with my RKII & formerly a DR & find it capable of the tones you're looking for. It is even more capable now, after a pickup change to a WB Firewater bridge & Heaven neck. I also use the 5-way switch, but get clear, glassy cleans...

Welcome man! You'll find that the RKII can do SO much! FWIW, I subbed yellowjackets W/EL84's for the EL34's, for a tone that suits me much better. Tony
