Hello-
I'm new here, and have read a lot of great info so far.
I am hoping to hear your opinions on the "best" tubes to use in my two Mesa amps. I apologize for the length of this post, but I want to provide as much detail as will help.
I am currently running a .50 Caliber+ in stereo with a DC-3. I am using a Boss DD-2 to split the signal.
I am using the lead channel on the .50C+ as my main tone, and the delay is coming through the DC-3 clean channel.
I have a Norlin LP with Lollar Imperial pups, and I am trying not to run any effects, other than the Boss delay pedal and a Fulltone Clyde wah. I primarily try to use my volume controls to clean up the tone.
I am trying for a tone similar to Paul Kossoff (Free) for leads and somthing strat-like for clean tones. For crunch tones, I suppose "classic rock" chord tones would be appropriate. (Old Scorpions, Judas Priest, Purple, Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy)
I am not a high-gain metal type player.
Am I asking too much? Would different amps be more appropriate? I am currently using stock Mesa tubes.
Thank you for your advice!
