These are specially selected full revalve kits for Mesa Boogie owners. The sets consist of specially position selected pre amp valves that have been selected for each position in your Mesa. We have 2 pre amp kits, Standard gain, to give a warm and fat overdrive and Our Classic kit provides boogie owners with a valve close in tone to the vintage Mullard ECC83.
In terms of 6L6GC we have selected sets available that will work with the boogies fixed bias arrangement. Certain 6L6GC will be better for certain kinds of music and these we have indicated in our product description.
Special Offer 10% DiscountThis Upgrade kit provides a crystal clear top end with more extension and clarity when used clean. When pushing this amplifier into overdrive the valves combined characteristics provide a warm clear sound with excellent sustain with plenty of upper harmonics .This results in the best balance of clean headroom and smooth warm overdrive with the vintage American Sound
The Harma ECC83 STR is used for its sparkling clean sounds. The mid range is very transparent which when changing pickup selection give a nice tonal variation which is lost in some other valves.
The valve responds very well to pedals and crunches up without that harsh fuzzy tone.
The Groove Tubes 6L6GC GE is a re issue of the famous clear Top General Electric 6L6GC. It features the same anode plate design with welded and stapled side bracing. It has extra thick mica spacers which are fixed by the extended anode plate which reduces vibrations, rattle and microphonics which is a problem with many modern 6L6GC.
Sound wise; the Groove Tube 6L6GC Re issue has the clean and crunchy American vintage sound that takes the harsh edge off the modern high gain sound. It is not surprising that this has become our most popular 6L6GC for use in Mesa amplifiers.
The GT 6L6GC GE Super Premium valves have been specially burst tested by us. We take selected GT items and in addition to GTs in house testing and distortion rating they then also undergo our own unique real world burst testing.
The burst testing process involves a series of varying timed electrical signal bursts. This runs the valves under the same stress conditions that they will meet in your amplifier. All out put valves are then dual matched by us on current and gain. This will ensure that you get the best selected GT valves available anywhere in the world.
The full upgrade kit consists of 11 valves
5 Specially Selected Harma ECC83 STR
1 Specially Selected and Balanced Harma ECC83 STR
4 Specially Selected Groove Tube 6L6GC GE Reissue super premium
