What brand of tubes come with the Mark V heads?

[spyeman]

Anyone know what the Mesa branded 6L6's and 12AX7's actually are???

 

[Nermel]

The use all sorts of tubes from different manufacturers just like Groove Tubes....BUT...are way more selective than the afformentioned...which makes them better and more consistent IMHO (pretty sure Mesa agrees)

 

[MarkIVwidebody]

They are all tested ans matched as quads at least.

 

[Nermel]

Nah...I think they are tested as Duets

 

[spyeman]

Do they throw the ole Sovteks in there? I hope not......I've never bought a Mesa, not unusual for me if I know an amp is stuffed with Sovteks that I'll buy an entire replacement set before it arrives...........I'm guessing/hoping they are at least one notch above.....
