changing tube on the rectoverb

Changing the tubes on a tube amp can be tricky if you don't know what your doing. Most the time i would recommend taking it to a pro to have the amp serviced because tube amps have to be biased. However mesa boogie amps never have to be biased. which means it is easy to do yourself from home. The rectoverb has two 6l6's power tubes these  are what will need changed the most. The 12ax7 pre-amp tubes are still working and i have never changed them. However the two power amp tubes are easy changed. Just  turn the amp upside down and let the tubes cool  or use a towel if they are still hot. Rock them back and forth(wiggle) them while pulling upward until they work their way loose. Just put the new ones into the spot  by lining up the connections. If your are replacing them with 6l6's than you are done. If you are replacing them with el34's you must switch the  bias switch on  the  back of the amp . It really is that easy
