Specifically using a higher grade tube in V1, and lower gain 12AT7’s in V2 and V6. There are some older threads on the Mesa forum and telecaster forums about it. I just thought I’d check in here to see if anyone has done some or all of these tube swaps? It seems like the V6 phase inverter location might allow a bit more movement of the master volumes before it goes from almost loud enough to loud AF. The V2 seems like it might tame the gain a little, especially on channel 2. I’d put a Mesa SPAX7 into V1, which is basically just a 12 AX7 screened for low microphinics.
I’ve finally got all the tubes, so I’ll experiment. I’m just asking in advance, as my skill in playing and dialing in the kinda finicky mkv25 is not particularly great yet. TIA and all!
