i just picked up this up from ebay a few weeks ago, someone turned the combo into a heas versio , got a killer deal for it. first thing i did was swap out the preamp tubes to tungsol, jj, penta, penta and sovtek lps which really brought the amp to life. now i just gotta figure out my cab...

Clarification: I don't like JJ's. I know V3-V4 are cathode follower spots so I'm kind of stuck with either JJs or Chinese in those positions.

I have gt 6l6 ge in power, but thinkin of replacing then with Mullard el34

I recently picked up a rectoverb series II combo. It's used. It came with gt 12ax7-r pres. Not a huge fan of them so I'm swapping tubes. How much of an effect does the v3-v5 spots have on the tone? Right now I'm running an ei yugo - genalex gold lion ri - jj - penta and sovtek lps in the v...

I"ve spent the last week really reading up on my amp and really trying to understand it. I read from reviews, to blogs, to articles, to whatever I could get my hands on. I really wanna maximize my tone and learn how certain aspects of my amp affect my tone and what I can do to enhance it...

It's actually pronounced kick'-***'

Thought the 400 series had Grover Tuners? I have the Ec1000 and was looking to get the same one that you're looking at for a backup. SOlid guitar.

Thanks guys, I read the manual a couple times cover to cover but it didn't go indept with the difference b/w the Vacuum Tubes and Diodes.

Stay away from Eh, stick with JJs or Tungsol Truthfully, you don't need a 412 to gig, I've gigged with a 1x12 and a 2x12 respectivey. That suffices enough. Couple reasons, you're able to crank your amp up louder since you have less speakers thus you have the ability of reaching that sweet...

Right now I'm running my Dual Rectifier Trem-O-Verb through a 1X12 Avatar cab w/ Vintage 30s and I'm looking to pair it with another 1X12 cab. What would be a good speaker match to mesh and contrast with the Vintage 30s? The Vinatge 30s are in a partial open back, the next one I'm thinking...

bump. Anyone?

Try checking out avatarspeakers.com they make really good cabs with great speakers for cheap. I forgot what speakers are you using again? Some need to be cranked before a good tone can be heard. Like the other poster said, try tube swapping. JJs are great tubes. The guiatr and pickups you...

You also may want to try using an open back 212 cab instead of the 412. the 412s are great for overdriven/distortion tones, but an open back are the best for cleans.

Also what's the difference between Vacuum Tube and Silicon Diodes? Spongy and bold?

Oddly and ironically enough, try using some pedals to make a clean tone. A touch of verb/chorus/flange/tremelo/etc and an EQ pedal can brighten it up. Also congrats on the amp, I just picked up my first Mesa as well last night. It's a Dual Rectifier Trem-O-Verb.

Last night I traded my randall RM100 w/ modules for a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Trem-O-Verb. Never owned a Mesa before, always wanted one. I've played through a couple Rectifiers and a Nomad 55 at a local guitar store. I've read countless reviews, could anyone tell me something new that I...
