    JJ tubes in a triaxis? any suggestions?

    Hi There, Yesterday I got a mesa 2:90 to go with my Triaxis- the interesting thing was that the guy I got it from had a triaxis too- i compared mine to his and his sounded loads better- less harsh etc. We tried his valves in my Triaxis ( a full set of JJ 12ax7s ) and it sorted out the problems...

    triaxis much better than express head?

    Hi I'm currently using an Express 5:25 head with 2x12 Recto Cab and G major fx unit- I can't quite get the lead sounds i'm looking for. I like the idea of rack gear, so I'm thinking of swapping for a Triaxis and small power amp like a Marshall 20/20 ( i'm mainly a bedroom player) - do you guys...

    I just got a load of NOS tubes- any advice?

    I was afraid you guys might say something like that, I have reverted back to the Mesa Tubes and i'm starting again from scratch- There was too much temptation to put everything in at once which was just too confusing. I wish I had more time, both for playing and for tweaking! One other question...

    Do i need new EL-84s? also which brand type best

    thanks for the help guys, regarding the the v1 v2 etc positions in the amp, i'm assuming that each position serves a different purpose- so that would make testing NOS tubes for the prospective positions a lengthy task! Is it really worth the hassle- the reason I switched to a valve amp was so I...

    Anyone using a THD Hotplate or similar

    Hi Guys, I'm thinking of getting a THD Hotplate so I can crank my new Express 5:25 head for better tone at bedroom friendly levels.
