Hi guys!
Just picked up a used 5:50, about 3 years old.
Great amp, but it sounds to me like it needs to be retubed.
1. Any suggestions on preamp tubes? I like crystal clear cleans, bluesy breakup, and modern lead gain.
2. I am a little confused about power tubes on this amp. I know it is fixed bias, but what does that mean? Can I use any 6L6 tube, or is it only Mesa tubes?
All help appreciated. Thanks!
