Want a very smooth rich tone with less grit? This is our Gold Pin Mesa Stiletto Trident Retube Kit. It uses four standard Gold Pin JJ ECC83S's in V1 through V4 and a current balanced Gold Pin ECC83S in V5. The result is a smoother, less aggressive and very singing tone. The default power tubes are the JJ E34L's which are very tight and punchy with more extension in the low end. With the Customize option you can configure this kit to use the JJ EL34’s, EL34II's, KT77’s or Big Bottle 6CA7’s. **This kit does not come with replacement rectifier tubes. If you'd like a set you can use the Customize option and select either a JJ GZ34's or 5U4GB's. We do not automatically include a replacement rectifier tube because we've found that most players use the silicone diode mode exclusively. When your're in the silicone diode mode the rectifiers filaments are connected but the tube itself is bypassed.
These amps are fixed bias with no adjustment.All our Mesa Retube Kits include power tubes that are hand selected to run perfectly in Mesa amps. We have extensive hands-on experience measuring the fixed bias points in these amps and what grade of tubes will achieve optimal performance.
