just changed my pre tubes for the 1st time and...

I gotta say early voting is good . Got the eurotubes fav front end and there is definataly an improvement for the better in every channel over the stock set . wont get a chance to really crank till rehearsal at the weekend but as advertised every channel seems to do its thing better.

the clean is straight off the bat better. way more headroom .like most I guess here my pickups on both guitars are on the pretty hot side and the clean is way more chimey and clean . I can dig in more and it doesnt get as dirty

orange vintage feels smoother with more sing and sustain.nice

Red modern seems the least changed but it defianatly sounds great . more round in the bottom I guess

anyway I know many of the really deep experts here dont like all JJ's as it's meant to darken the amp but when youve only had stock tubes its a change for the even better for sure.


Cant wait till sunday to crank this bitch

I got the High Gain set and I am happy

However, I have to admit the differences are subtle. I would have to switch a few times between the two to really make out the difference. The set from eurotubes seems to have a little more bite at the lower strings, which is a good thing for me ...

That said, I think one could easily live with the set from Mesa, but changing tubes is fun, eh ?

Uhh.. I'm 99.9% positive that Mesa tubes are re-labeled JJ tubes.

Mesa's current "Russian" 12AX7 is a JJ. The "Russian-1" is a Sovtek, and the "Russian-2" is an Electro-Harmonix.
