Carvin Nomad-Belair Standard Retube Kit

Product Details

Looking for a warmer tone with better definition? This is our Standard Retube Kit and it contains a matched quad of JJ EL84's for the power section. Five ECC83S's with one being current balanced for the phase inverter in V5. A nice upgrade in tone.

The Balanced ECC83S is located in V5 farthest from the input jack.

Combo amps are very hard on tubes because of vibrations which can cause tube rattle with any brand of tube. If your amp is the combo version and you play by yourself in a quiet environment or record with your amp you may want to consider using the EuroDamper tube damper rings for the four EL84’s. These are available in the "Related Products” tab as a set of four and will greatly decrease tube rattle. ** Note: the wire tube retainers will not fit all the way over the damper rings.

These amps are adjustable bias. You can use the "Carvin method" with a Multimeter, or you can use one of our 9 pin bias probes with a Multimeter, or our all-in-one 9 pin "Pro One" bias probe (which reads plate voltage and plate current simultaneously). These are available under the "Related Products" tab.

You can use our Carvin bias video for reference which we did on a V3. The video shows using bias probes and also shows the Carvin Method for EL34’s and 6L6’s. Please Note; a setting of 80 to 95mA is good for EL84’s. If you’re using the JJ EL844’s a setting of between 60 to 72mA is good using the Carvin Method. If you’re using a bias probe then a setting between 20 to 24mA is good for EL84’s and a setting between 15 to 18mA is good for EL844's.

The video below explains the difference between bias probe types.
