Hello All,
I recently acquired a used Tremoverb, as I'm making the switch back to playing guitar from playing bass. The previous owner has it setup as a "50 watt" meaning, that he pulled two of the power tubes and one of the rectifier tubes. I've found the manuals on the Mesa site, and only the "dual/triple rectifier solo" claims:
"NOTE: On the DUAL Solo Head it is possible to run two 6L6 or EL34 tubes by pulling the two center tubes leaving the far left and
far right tubes intact. This procedure reduces the power by approximately 50%. Remove one of the Rectifier tubes if you are using
the Tube Rectifier setting to assure a correct match."
There is nothing in the tremoverb manual about this. I realize these amps are similar, but should I re-add the missing tubes or is it basically safe to run this way?
