Hi,
I'll try to keep this story short and understandable... I'm from the Netherlands so bear with me.
My Triple Rectifier needs new power tubes. The bass is getting muddy and the overall sound is getting darker. Amp is build in 2005, I own it for about 1,5 years now. Use it every day at home for about 60 min on average and 1 day in the week it goes on for 6 hours at band rehearsal.
So, I think I need new power tubes.
At first I thought; I'll just buy Mesa Tone Selected tubes from JJ, choose a color-code and put them in my Triple Rec. But, now the confusion comes in... Many stores and guys on the internet tell me it isn't that simple. They tell me I have to be lucky with a matched sextet and that I need to check (and maybe adjust) the bias. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it the point of Mesa Tone Selected tubes and a fixed bias, that you don't have to check anything, as long the set is matched?
Please help! This is getting so confusing. How do I re-tube my amp correctly?
