hi there if i want to replace the power tubes on my DC2 do i just try any el84 or do i need particular brands? i was tempted to try JJ's will they work ok? or nos tubes how do i know which will be compatible? new tube amps appreciate any help
J.J said:The short answer is go and get a pair of Mesa EL84 tubes. Mesa amps are fixed bias and require tubes the fall within the "range" as the amps can not be adjusted to suit the tubes.
Otherwise if you know what you want most of the tube sellers can sell you a set matched to Mesa spec if ou ask. the JJs are good and most around here would consider them as an upgrade in tone compared to the current Mesa items.
