I'm not sure, but I was told after pulling the matched tube set that I can leave both rectifier tubes in amp ? What to do?
The rectifier tubes are your power supply to your power stage tubes. That's why in a Triple Rectifier there are three 5U4. Of course rectifiers are in use when switch to tube rectifiers.
MESA used to send out flyers and one of the article, one testers said that he used a single 5AR4 instead of 5U4 when pulling out two of the power tubes.
Reason I asked about the mini-Recto, I thought it was a smaller package of a Dual Rectifier. Yes I know, the TremoVerb has rectifier switching, "Spongey / Bold", tremolo, reverb, the power thump of larger amp etc ... But I thought you could get a similar sound but without shaking the walls and you do lose some of the thump.
So wouldn't the mini-Recto give you practice bedroom level? Its pretty loud I would assume at 25 watt setting.
