I'd like to change the tubes in my fender cyber-twin (130 watt combo). How do I access them? Also, any recommendations on what brand to use? Thanks.
 
What type of tubes are in there ? NOS tubes are the way to go ! The new-old-stock from Philips/GeneralElectric/RCA/Mullard/Brimar and many others, will often sound dozen times better than any currently made ones (chinease/soviet). You will just be amazed of the difference in quality between them. I use a combination of GeneralElecric and RCA 6L6GCs, a (probably) british NOS 12AX7 labeled "Lewis & Kaupfman", GE and RCA 12AT7s in my 135W TwinReverb.

The Sovtek/Fenders are the crap of the crap.

I think the problem is he cant get to the tubes so he cant tell you what kind they are.
 
You're right E, the back of the amp, where the electronics are, is enclosed by metal box. How do I get at the tubes? Thanks
 
take off the metal box :cool:

seriously, though, any tube amp is going to be built in such a way as to make it not THAT difficult to take tubes out, especially from a company like fender, who knows what tubes are. is there some removable trimpiece around it? the metal box's screws could be under it. other than that, i don't know. i don't think i'll bump into one anytime soon, or i'd check.
