Mesa/Boogie 5Y3 Rectifier Tube
Mesa/Boogie 5Y3 Rectifier Tube Reviews
You'll find the MESA 5Y3 inside all the Mesa/Boogie Lone Star Special tube amplifier. The MESA 5Y3 is a true, authentic 5Y3 NOS (New Old Stock) tube based on the original Phillips 5Y3 and is built to Mesa/Boogie's exacting specifications. This tube produces a sultry vintage sag, creating a silky, smooth feel on the strings and provides the most sag of all of Mesa/Boogie rectifier tubes. Get vintage tone with the MESA 5Y3.
Do not use in Lone Star Special amp
This Sweetwater ad states this tube is NOS and comes in the Lone Star Special amp. They do come in the amp, and the Mesa folks have come up with three different mods to lower the voltage but this tube still burns out. Usually in a month. Sometimes right away. You need a real NOS tube like Bendix 6106 in the Lone Star Special.
