Look at these tubes I came across going threw my gear cabinet. I forgot I had them.
Most of these have never been used but momentarily. Back when I got my mark 5:35w and my orange rocker 4+ years ago i got all these tubes.
I was using a Mark V 90w guide trying to retube my 35w. I didnt know what I was doing. I loved this mesa SPA ( I think its one of those vintage chinese spas from the late 80s 90s they put in the mark 4s and peiple love in marshalls. I poped it in V1 on my mark 5:35w it sounded amazing. Insainely good issue was when ever I activated the mid boost with the volue nob the amp starting doing all sorts of weird stuff. So i turned off the mid boost. Im gonna test it again but if i remember correctly it even started having issues without that activating so i took it out.
I also found a Jan Phillips NOS 5751 USA made. It didnt sound right in the 35w. I hear this tube is expensive as heck now, but I wana try on the 90w what Slot should I put it in?
Found a ruby NOS chinese 12AT7 (i think) rated on 2002. Any suggestions to use this on?
And for the possible holy grail. I found a NOS 12X7A marked tube with the red paint beijing square foil getter preamp tube? Suggestions on what Socket I should try that on?
I read that mesa uses all JJ preamp tubes now and that they are all darker than the ones used in the origonal mark 4 and dual recto amps.
I found these as well might get a few and try. Has anyone else tried?

Aparently these are perfect remakes of the NOS chinese square foil dimpel getter tubes. Anyone tried these in there Mark V 90w
The issue right now is my sound is to dark and when i try to increase the treble on the GEQ it does this weird thin twang thing. I dont know if this is the ice pick I sure hope not.
