Hello!
I am new to this board. My name is Chris and I'm from Germany.
I'm play in a band called "Nevermind", and we're playing Alternative Rock.
I just own a MESA BOOGIE RECTIFIER STEREO 2:100, a Line6 POD XT PRO Preamp (which I want to change with a Recto Pre), a Rivera Knucklehead 4x12 with V30 and a nice pedalboard with just a BOSS MT-2 as my main distortion source, a EH Small Clone, an analog BOSS BF-2 Flanger and a BOSS DD-6 for delaying action.
I am happy with my setup except with the Line6, which is a cool source for effects but lacks in the sound department (especially modern distortion sounds). They sound good but they have no punch!
All in all I want to retube my BOOGIE 2:100 poweramp and I don't know which 6L6 tubes I should choose to retube. I am happy with the sound of the poweramp so I don't want to install bias pots and all other stuff. I'll keep it stock-type but I don't know which tubes to choose from! There are STR420 6L6 in my amp but it seems like no is producing this 420-type STR anymore. I just want to have exactly same sounding tubes, without any technician, like MESA is promising.
Any idea?
MFG
