Re: Rectifier Tube died = ReTube
Get two NOS rectifiers from Mike at www.kcanostubes.com
They will give you far longer life than 4 years. The only new production rectifier tube I like is the JJ 5AR4(GZ34).
Those NOS Joint Army-Navy (JAN) ones for 23 a piece will probably last you a very very long time.

Originally posted by muttonchopsrulehow do you like it with the tube rectifier selected vs. the solid state? on my dual rec. the tube rectifier sounds AMAZING for single-note lead kind of things, but it seems to mud up a little for chording.
I think I'm gonna hold off on the complete retube for now and just replace the rectifier & power tubes. I just scored a Hotplate off eBay so I need the money for that.

Re: Rectifier Tube died = ReTube
i ordered a set pf preamp tubes from eurotubes a while ago without any problems, and i haven't heard of anyone having any bad experiences with them.

Rectifier Tube died = ReTube
Yup... heavy bummer. But thanks to the fine folks at Mesa Engineering I have a handy little switch in the back to bypass the tube rectifier and switch to the solid state one! So I was able to continue practicing.
So I thought now is the perfect time to re-tube my entire Boogie (4+ years old). I'm pretty sure I want JJs all around, but if any of you guys have other opinions I'd love to hear them.
My Boogie is a 3-channel Dual Rectifier with the following tubes:
5 12AX7s for the preamp
4 6L6s for the power
2 5U4GBs for the rectifier
I think I'll stick with the 6L6s. By the way, where's the best place to buy JJ's? I hear good things about EuroTubes. Any of you Boston guys know of local dealers?
Thanks a ton!
