Hi.

I'm pretty new to tubes, so I guess this is a newbie question, but here it goes: How do I determine the color code of my Mesa Boogie Express 5:25+ amp? It says "GRN" on at least one of the tubes, so I'm guessing it means my tubes have the color code "green", but how do I know, how does one determine the color code on power tubes?
 
Pull one of the tubes. It should have the color code on the silver strip under the Mesa logo at the base of the tube.
The way they're mounted in the chassis might be blocking the print.

Should say something like 10 AC GRN

Thanks for your reply. The label read exactly what you suggested it would - "10 AC GRN".
