TAD Tube Set for Mesa Boogie Lonestar Special | Mesa Boogie Tube Sets

 

In the first position (V1), this tube set features our RT-7025 TAD REDBASE 7025/E83CC HIGHGRADE which is outstanding because of its high gain, low microphonics, powerful mids and rich overtone sound. Played clean, the TAD REDBASE 7025/E83CC delivers a warm liquid tone which is very responsive to dynamic playing.

 

For the second position (V2), we recommend our RT003 12AX7A/ECC83  TAD Premium Selected.This tube provides for very good gain, tight deep bass, fat mids and a silky top end with overall definition and brightness. It is selected with balanced systems and improves overall response

 

The following three positions (V3-V5) uses our RT003 12AX7A/ECC83  TAD Premium Selected. This tube delivers very good gain, tight deep bass, fat mids and a silky top end with overall definition and brightness. It is selected with balanced systems and improves overall response. It works best for clean tones, as well as for sounds requiring deep-bass power like any modern preamp.

 

For the power tube section, we recommend a matched quartet of our RT274 EL84-Cz TAD PREMIUM Matched, the muscle man and roughneck among the EL84 models. It gives most amps an extra powerful bass response providing a very dynamic big tone.  Our recommendation, if a powerful tone is what you are looking for.

 

The S5Y3 5Y3GT/WGT/WGTB/GTA NOS USA is the ideal rectifier tube for amps like this.

 

 

The power tubes do not need to be biased, as the amp operates on a cathode bias.
