Well...in an English-based forum...we HAVE to write in English!!! The site is: www.tube-town.net! There is a very nice guy, called Dirk, who will give an answer to any question. There is also a direct link to their "tone-selection", used to match their tubes with the Mesa ones.

I've found a Deutsch store that can sell me 6 matched JJ EL-34 (according to him, these are like the "yellow" Mesa tubes)at the price of 80 euros, shipping costs included. Now it's time to ask what can I do with different preamp tubes: i've read here somewhere that V1 and V3 make the difference...

I'll take a look at this store, thanks R_ADKINS. I've found another store, tube-town.de, they answered me telling that they have 2 choice for Rectifier:the JJ EL34 as "low current" tubes, or the TT, that are like Mesa grey tubes. They have Tung Sol, too, as Nitrobattery wrote. What do you think...

Oh, this could be a problem, due to the fact that "Novarria" is a generic electronic parts store, and NOT a tube amp store! I'll try asking them tubes that can be used with the Rectifier, but I doubt they can answer to me correctly!

Unfortunately I'm italian, so I'd like to buy tubes in Italy, or in Europe, where the shipping costs are cheaper than USA. Do you know any European tube store? In Italy I've found these: http://www.elettronicanovarria.com/dettagli.asp?sid=53795992520081020211327&idp=108&categoria=98 Should I...

I'd like to try EL-34 in my Triple, because many guys told me that it can helps to open the hi-mid on this head, and reduce a bit the low end. By the way, this born as a try, so what bran could I try, without spend too much buying the Mesa ones?

Ok, thanks to all. Today I'll try pulling 2 tubes to ear if there are differences in the sound. Then I'll try with 4 EL-34, to try to set the Triple a bit more "open" in the sound. What EL-34 do you think I should use? I can take some Electro Harmonix with a good price. Should I try it, or do...

Thanks a lot, man. I have a 8 cab cabinet, so I can run it thru my 8 output, without changing nothing...right? In what way, in your opinion, this can change the sound of the beast? I also would like to try EL-34 in my Triple, trying to "open" a bit the hi-mid, so I think I'll buy a matched...

Can you please explain me better what's the fix for the "mute switching"? I'm italian and I can't translate these lines...sorry! I have a Triple that has this problem, so I'd like to fix it! Thanks in advance!!!

Thanks a lot, Elpelotero.

What tubes should I pull? The outer or the inner?

Where have you found these RFT tubes??

Amazing sound!!! Do you think is it possible to use a different tube in the v1 of a Triple to obtain a similar tone? What do you think about using EL-34 in a Triple?

Thanks to you, too. What do you mean with "raise the master"? Are you talkin' about the single master channels or the master loop? I have the loop on (with several pedals on it) and I still don't understand well how the master and the send\mix knobs on the rear affect the sound. What tube have...

I think I'll buy a 2x12 and then try if it works better than the 4x12. I was thinking to try EL34 in my Triple, too. I believe that it can help my amp to cut better the mix: the other guitarist has an italian brand head (100w) with 4xEL34 and it can be heard way better than me, even at lower...

:D ... of course this is my rehearsal volume, but when I play live I have to turn it down, so in this case come up what I really don't like: the crappy sound of the amp!!! Thanks for all these tricks, siggy. Do you think that using a 2x12 instead of a 4x12 can solve some of my problems? I was...

So you think it would be useless trying to reduce a bit the wattage? So I'd like to find a way to make my Triple sounds better at low volumes...my feeling is that when I turn down the volume, it sounds really bad, empty, as almost all 50-100W heads I believe. Is there any tricks to make it...

Thanks for the reply. Do you think that a Dual 3ch will works better than a Triple, or it's the same thing? I was thinking about buying a Dual and pull off tubes, to make it works at 50 watts. Is it a good thing to do to reduce a bit volume and have a nice tone, or is it useful due to the fact...

Hi guys...in the last live I did, I had a really bad trip about my Triple...sometimes I can't turn it up when I play in small venues, so I can't hear the right sound from that head...and I feel that It can't give me the sound that I want, plus I have problems to be heard in the mix (I use it...

Hi guys! I'd like to "clone" a 2x12 Recto cab, because the original is, for me, too expensive!!! I need internal sizes (the distance between the panels, the exact collocation, and its dimensions, of the lateral handles and, if possible, the distance between the speakers), so I'd like to know if...
