Hey guys

Im new to the board and also a new owner of a 5:50 2 x 12.

Gotta say I love this amp already!

Picked up a floor model (with a 5 year warranty) without a single mark very much a new amp for $1800.

Good deal!

So ive been reading on this forum that it may be a good idea to change the tubes. Is this true and why?

Thanks again

Ben

Hi Mate.

I play in quite a hard rock band and found the stock mesa pre amp tubes a little to be desired to be honest.

I went on Doug's recommendations and purchased his tone kit for this amp.

The difference is MASSIVE. The smoothness of the gain, the overall head room of the amp, the warmth of the clean tone.

Seriously massisve difference. The drummer in my band even commented on it

Very happy, big results and well worth the 120 bucks.
