Right now I'm only using Channel 1 on my Nomad because I need the clean tone for my jazzbox.
I need to change my worn-out tubes.
I had an idea. If I only put in the pre-amp tubes for Channel 1, would the other channels simply not work?
Presumably that means I could save on tubes and keep the unused tubes for later.
What about the 6L6 power tubes?
If I set the amp on 50W and only put in the "inside" set of tubes, would that mean I could save the other two tubes for later?
My studio is small and I'm not playing out these days. I think the 100W sound is nicer, but I don't need anywhere near that much power.
Somewhere on the forum I saw a reference to the 50W tubes being the "inside" set. Is that true?
Would all of this be a wise idea? Mesa Boogie amps seem like high-strung racehorses. Very beautiful but delicate.
I'm wondering if the amp needs to be all set up as it comes just to work without problems.
