Not too much input gain and channel gain, bass close to 0 and full power (no triodes), V shaped GEQ with lowest slider used sparingly. No tube swaps necessary (unless you have full salvo of JJ ECC83 preamp - no highs) :mrgreen:

Thanks. Yeah I've figured out the settings, sort of. Unfortunately I believe there's some sort of JJ's in there. Just curious if someone had found certain tubes that is optimal for tight chugging.

I’ve had best luck with original Mesa tubes :shock: the Chinese versions.
