Note: The balanced preamp valve goes in V6 which is the one furthest from the input jack and closest to the power valves.
Over time your valves will lose their tone and their power. A brand new set of valves will get your amp sounding like new again.
We always recommend JJ valves for the Mesa Boogie DC2 amplifier. This is because they guarantee you get awesome tone and long life and they don’t cost a fortune.
Remember, JJ is one of only five manufacturers of valves in the world. So don’t pay higher prices for valves from the same factory that have simply been rebranded by other companies.
So restore the tone, the power and the sparkle to your guitar amplifier. Treat yourself to a brand new set of valves today.

Mesa insists that you always put their own brand tubes in your Mesa amp. You have to smile because, as we all know, Mesa doesn’t make tubes. They simply buy them from the main tube manufacturers (of which JJ is one), rebrand them and sell them at a much higher cost.
During the warranty period if a tube blows then it is worth buying Mesa tubes to keep our warranty valid. After that period you would have to question why it is worth paying a much higher price for an identical valve you can buy much cheaper from the original manufacturer.
Our JJ EL84 power tubes are perfectly matched and chosen for this amplifier so you will not need to re-bias your amplifier. The bias is equivalent to what Mesa call an EL84 Green. Not too hot, not too cold but right in the middle.
