Mesa Dual Rec.. need new tubes!

[MX582]

alright ive had my dual rec for coming up to about 2 years now so i probably need to change the tubes out.. i dont wanna get the same stock tubes and i have no idea about anything when it comes to tubes so any suggestions on what after market tubes sound good?

also is changing tubes out just a matter off pulling the tube up and out of the plug thing and putting the new one in?

Check out www.tubestore.com. They've got a good amount of information about most tube types.

Changing tubes really is just pulling out and putting back in. They're in surprisingly tight, though.

Cheers,

Been advised Svetlanas 6L6, so I'll just pass the word

Their high-gain set with 6L6GC is great. Also did the rectifier upgarde and it cleaned up the mush!

Watch out for the JJ el34's (if you're considering 34's) a peavey tech told me they pull too much current and are fucking shit up

I'd have a look on Jan Phillips 12Ax7's aswell, those were great on my 5150
For power I always used Sovtek 6L6GC so I can't tell about others

I just recently got a rackmount dual rec with JJ 6L6's that are from Erotubes and I couldn't be more pleased. Gone is the fizzy high end that always seemed impossible to dial out. The Eurotubes guy is very helpful and easy to deal with. I have the high gain package installed. I hope this helps.
