Re: My cleans are great but gain sucks...what does this suggest?
Mrid I'm sure they do, but this is the thing. Do they sound exactly like Mesa tubes because it seems to me that YA is wondering why his Mesa doesn't sound like the new Mesa at the store. While Mesa amp models do sound different from each other, there is a characteristic "something" that I hear on all Mesa amps. It may be the tubes, it may not but if the JJ tubes sound the same as Mesas, there may not be a point in getting them and if they sound great but different, the amp still sounds different than it did coming from Mesa.
It's all in what YA thinks is important. Different and better are subjective, factory tone is at least somewhat a constant.
