Triaxis Retubing Cost?

[Mad Scotsman]

Does anyone know how much a full retubing for a Triaxis costs? Does MESA have to do it or can someone do it by themselves? If so how much does a set of tubes usually go for?

Dude just pull off tubes and push in the new ones ! :wink:
If I can remember mesa tubes are chinese (sovtek).
Just buy five new ones and retube it for yourself.
Very less expensive.

Thanks mate, however, do you know how much a set costs?

I know that sovteks are very cheap .If you buy them from mesa they will cost probably double price or higher just because the logo from mesa. :shock:

I use this guy and his Valves;

http://www.eurotubes.com/

I use the High gain low output option for the Triaxis, but if you e-mail Bob with what styles you play etc he will advise-in great depth, I can't speak high enough of him and even importing the set from the states to the UK (as I did) it's about half the price of tubes in britain, £30.00 for a full retube....you try that in the UK!!!!....as for you being in the states thats about 59 dollars.........with I imagine less postage!!!!

He has an online shop just look uder Mesa amps and then triaxis sets

Trust me, they are fine valves!!!

it depends on what you do but you can order the tubes from Mesa for about $12 per tube I think plus shipping. I would advise that you look around a little and do some research to get the right tubes for "your" sound....and expect to spend a little more to do this.

Although if you like the tones of you triaxis , keep the same tubes .
If you want more gain,less gain,more headroom etc ,
the search could be endless.
I prefer mine with its stock tones , I retubed with sovteks .
The same tubes without mesa's logo. :wink:

I'm sorry but I used JJ in my triaxis and they sounded like a tone suckers.With gain and master at 8 my triaxis sounded like an overdrive pedal.I hated these tubes and changed them for sovteks.
But everyone got their own tastes

+1, I really hated the JJ tubes in my TriAxis, but loved them in my mark IV combo.

I prefer the sound of the original Mesa tubes in the TriAxis.
