I've just scored a used Triple Rec and though it sounds great I find the orange and red channels have a volume drop when I switch from Modern to Vintage and Raw. To get them going I have to crank the volume up much higher than on the Modern channel. Having no experience here I'd just like to know if this is normal or have I bought an amp with a problem.

Totally normal, and is explained in your owners manual. If you don't have a manual go download it from Mesa.

The volume drop from Modern is normal behavior, but any used amp should get a new set of tubes anyway. You have no idea how many hours are on them.

Are they Mesa branded tubes in the amp now?

Thanks for the replies guys. It has its original Mesa tubes and sounded great at rehearsal last week. I only use the red channel on modern but got a bit anxious when I tried the Vintage and Raw. I think I can relax now.
