Mesa boogie 6L6 Gry inside(stock 6 month old pair) Grn Outside (3 week old pair), by the way i swaped the inner pair for the outter pair and its all ok now, but i still want to know if there's any problem i mean, i bought a new pair just 3 weeks ago (the Grn ones) because one of the 6 month old barely used, has a loose piece inside, and for my great luck was 1 day before the warranty for tubes expired, but i want to know if is just that this Mesa tubes are not that good, or just bad luck, or in the worst escenario my amp doing funny things, im really suspecting tubes since day one, because 1 of the first set that came stock with the amp also inner pair was going red plate the first week i owned the amp and i did the same thing that i did now just a swap from inner pair to outside, and they didnt give problems until the day i was cleaning the floor and i moved the amp and hear a rattle and was that loose piece inside the tube, just for the record the amp stayed since this feb 2011 to august 2011 in the apartment where i used to live, never gigged and never used in 90W mode, barely used in 45W since was a small building and almost every minute by my side because i didnt went outside almost never. so there is the problems that i experienced by now are:
first week of be owner - One power tube inside pair going red plate
near six months of owner - One tube with a loose piece
just power tube issues...
the question:
is just that this Mesa tubes are not that good, or just bad luck, or in the worst escenario my amp doing funny things?
thanks
Dre.
