The next part of my question now is what kind of 6L6s? We all know the bias is a little cold.

I experimented a lot when I was younger and I typically find Rectos sound best wth stock Mesa tubes in them, which in this case is Chinese. I’ve also used Sovtek, but I think the Chinese ones sound better.
I’ve never used JJ 6L6. If Mesa has started using them that’s a relatively recent thing.|| Guitar | Wah | Vibe | Amp ||

Hmm! It’s cheap enough to be worth a try.
Before the tube "crisis" I grabbed some sets of NOS 90s era Mesa-branded 6L6 and 12ax7 for cheap. (420, 430, and foil-getter preamps)

430 are Sovtecs that were stock in the late 90s early 2000s. They are a bit more brash up top and wider sounding overall, maybe just from having a bit less mids.
The Chinese mesa preamps are great for all positions but especially the cathode followers. I prefer the Tung-Sol or EH for the V1.
