Ahoy there!
I am the proud new owner of an Electra Dyne, and I must say it is fantastic! I just have 3 questions that I was hoping could be answered here.
1. I want to try EL34's and I already have a matched quad of winged C's sitting around, but being new to Mesa's I don't fully understand how the tube swapping process works with the fixed bias... Do I need to find "mesa-branded" winged C's to be able to use them in my Electra Dyne?... do Mesa winged c's even exist?! Or can I just pop the ones I already have in there?
2. I'm currently using a footswitch to turn the reverb on and off when needed. Does muting the reverb with the footswitch have the same effect as bypassing the reverb all together with that little switch on the back?
3. Has anyone found that different pre amp tubes have improved this amp at all? At the moment I can't imagine it getting much better, but if there's more on offer, then I'll certainly try it!
Thanks in advance,
Xan
