...than my gain channel?!? is this normal?!? but it is definitely noticably more bassy on the clean channel. thanks.

1st off thanks. i knew the pre amp tubes didn't have to be matched. just so i have it right tho, tap the pre amp tubes with the wood side of the pencil w/ full power on & stand by off, correct?!? thanks you so much guys!!!

i assume with the same pencil trick as the power tubes?!? thanks

i definitely thought it could be the tubes, but i have just never actually heard an amp make that sound. what would happen if i replace a single tube, won't it be unmatched?!? thanks so much for your help!

i have a 97 mesa dual rec 2 channel. tonite it started "whistling", only stopping when the stand by is on. when i changed the rectifier setting from diode to tubes, it reduces the sound significantly but it is still slightly there. it's almost like a kettle whistle but not quite as high pitched...

that breakdown is sick. that drummer is very good.

help, anyone?!?

any idea. i can't get any info from their sites. thanks

can anyone else help?!?

how bad are the implications of that?

yes. oops, should of stated that. thanks.

you rock. thanks

ive never been SUPER picky about tubes before, but now that i own a 2 channel dual rec, i want it to sound as good as possible. right now i have mesa EL34's & it's not heavy enuf for me. it's just not grabbing me. but the tubes could be a year more, who knows. that said i like the tone a lot...

awesome. can you hook me up w/ links for eurotubes & doug's please?!? thanks.

get off the high horse. i was using ge 6L6's that were matched pairs, & it ended up sounding great. and it's not disrespect toward my gear if it was an honest mistake.

great idea. i appeciate the suggestion. how much does a bias meter run?!? im gonna assume it can be purchased at most decent electronics stores, such as radioshack. thanks.

nothing blew. and the 6L6's were definitely old, like from the late 60's probably & well used. thanks for putting my mind at ease Siggy.

what are the effects on the amp when this happens?!? i had 6L6's & somehow i THINK i failed to have it on the right bias setting. what does that do to your amp?!? thanks

so is there a great transformer for about 250 or so that i could put in my dual rec?!? i like a really heavy sound. i love Kurt Ballou's tone from Converge. as well as Nate Newton's from Doom Riders. any ideas how to get a nice thick distortion in that realm?!?

this makes me want to possibly do the same thing w/ my 2 chan recto.
