Hi Myles,
Man, how do you manage to keep your cool? I was just over at HC to see what was going on on the amp forum and fought my way through all the adolescent rantings of squigglewhatshisname. Some nice cats over there, but I like it better here.
You suggested Svets of a Groove Tube #7 rating for our 50 Cal+. I saw somewhere that the Mesa color scale runs from red (warm sound) to blue(cold, hard sound). Is this correct? Now, by putting hotter tubes in a Boogie do we in effect change the bias of the amp? Would the result be more or less the same as setting the bias hotter and using a colder tube? (No, I am NOT planning to put a trim pot on the bias) Just wondering.
What do you think of this setup on the pre tubes? (Suggested by an Aussie on HC who played a 50 Cal for 10 years)
V1-GT 12ax7R2, V2-Mesa 12ax7C, V3-Mesa 12ax7C,V4-(12AT7), V5-Sovtek 12ax7LPS + the 6L6GC Svets you suggested.
Many thanks,
Dan
This thread seem to be more of a forum within a forum. Deffinitly cool.
