Mesa Boogie Express 5:50
I just bought an express 5:50 and I’m wondering if anyone has done any power tube swap? I have some JJ’s 6V6’s would those work? I really want that Smooth Rich Sound; I want it to get close to Carlos Santana’s sound; please let me know what tubes you experts recommend or any settings that could really help me with Carlos Santana’s sound early and current. I also have some preamp tubes (12ax7) would any of these work? If not please let me know any settings that will help me out! THANKS
Preamp tubes

2. Jan Phillips 5751
3. JJ’s ECC-83S
