Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier - Tube Kit
Metal -
Our "metal" amp tube kit is designed to produce richer, thicker, and darker tones. You have the choice between Ruby 6L6's or EL34's, it includes a "high gain" preamp tone kit, and 3 x Electro Harmonix 5U4GB's. The Ruby 6L6GCMSTR's give you articulate distortion or the Ruby EL34BSTR/EL34BW will give you a "wall of sound" and the attack and response needed in metal. Electro-Harmonix 5U4GB's are one of our best, most sturdiest rectifiers. Our preamp tone kit is all high gain, designed so you can push your amp and is as followed:
V1 - Gold Lion 12AX7 standard pin (High Gain)
V2 - RUBY 12AX7ACZ HG (High Gain)
V3 - Sovtek 12AX7WC (High Gain)
V4 - JJ ECC83S (High Gain)
V5 - NOS Ei 12AX7 (High Gain)
Rock / Hard Rock -
Our "rock" amp tube kit is designed to produce richer, smooth, fuller bodied tones. You have a choice between 6L6GC's or EL34's.
We recommend the Tung-Sol 12AX7 in V1 - it will give the clean channel a three dimensional sound. Placing the Penta 12AX7 in V2 and V3 will give your modern vintage gain channels a little more character. Our preamp tone kit will give you the flexability needed in rock, and is as followed:
V1 - Gold Lion 12AX7 standard pin
V2 - Ruby 12AX7 AC5 HG
V3 -Ruby 12AX7ACZ HG
V4 - Ruby 12AX7 AC5 HG
V5 - JJ ECC803S
