[dztronics]

May i first say a big hello to all. This is my first time on the site.

I have a problem with my Dual Rec Reborn, iv'e lost ch 2 & 3? Just went dead when i was playing. Ch 1 still works.
It's Only a month old. Any ideas anyone?

Try replacing V3. (V1 is the one under the metal cover; V3 is the next but one.) Don't use any kind of Russian-made tube (even Mesa ones), they have a high failure rate in this position.

Groove tubes Gold 12AX7 C (Chinese tube) work good in that tube position, but the tone is a little bit too scooped for my taste.

A 1960 Raytheon black longplate works better for me, and can be had on the test new vintage old stock market for about the same $.

As T94 suggests, dont blow through a hundred $ of russian tubes trying to find one thatll work in v3. They dont. period.

Call Mesa. Their tech support is very good.
