Well, they're technical for me. I just received a Mark III Blue Stripe and I am completely new to the Mark series. First of all, the amp is Simul-Class but has 6L6's in the outside slots. Should I change them? And if yes, do I just order some Mesa branded EL34's and pop them in?
I have never changed a tube before but the guy I bought it from shipped it with the tubes removed so when I got it I just popped the tubes in and it worked. As far as I could tell there were 12 AX7's with no real difference between them so I just put them in and the same goes for the power tubes. Is is that easy? Is it dangerous?
Secondly, my amp has a magic marker R on the back. What does that mean?
I'me getting a great metal rhythm sound with the GEQ engaged but it seems to need that to sound good. That makes the lead sound a little thin and shrill. Any solutions?
Any other advice, settings or techincal would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
