Hi there fellow Boogie owners. I have been wondering how it works regarding lower wattage modes on Mesa amps where only two of four power tubes are used, like on Mark V 35. What is happening with the two remaining EL84s when they are not being used? Are they being worn the same or less or not at all? Let us say, what if I mostly used the 25 watt mode on the Mark V 35? Would it mean that one pair of the power tubes will get worn faster?
If that is so, it would make sense to swap the two pairs from time to time to keep the tube matching equal for the 35 watt mode, but does anyone know which ones are the ones being used and which pair is only idling?
Thanks a lot!
