hey guys, i just got my dual recto via ups this afternoon!
Heres some pics of it...
when i got it, two of the tubes were out of the sockets, which worried me.. then i found two little black pieces, which belong in the middle of the prongs on the tubes>
yeah, they were both busted off
:?
but anyways i noticed the previous owner had two JJ EL-34's and two 6L6's in and i was like wtf?? so i dunno yet if he ever ran it in this configuration, but im guessing if he did it could damage the amp. On the bright side, i have 2 Mesa EL-34's that i can put in place of the 6L6's, and i just wanted to know if it is ok to use JJ and Mesa tubes at the same time.. i would put the one brand in the outside positions and the other in the middle two spots and i think it should be fine, am i correct?
Edit: more bad news... looking at the tubes i had, i discovered they are a different kind of EL-34 tube with more prongs on the bottom and a different shape.. im really wondering now if i can use them together...
