Triple Rectifier comparison: Rev G vs 90s RI

Red modern 6L6 last few years

Any one know if there is any ckt changes to the new 90's dual release today aside from the cosmetic change?

I have to imagine it’s completely cosmetic only. The inside baseball is that Mesa / Gibson are unhappy about the bottlenecking in the amp’s production pipeline caused by the chassis chroming process, which is being done by one specific motorcycle shop on a one-by-one basis.

I do know that the pot values on the Triple RI are G. Which has inspired me to try the C mod values to mine. Easy enough to go back if they are too much. I will find out over the weekend.

I don't have the schematics on the Dual RI vs Triple RI. I have both amps and they sound extremely similar at lower volumes. Obviously the Triple holds up better and has more authority at band volumes but it sounds to me like the preamps are extremely similar if not the exact same.

I was talking about the move from Chrome Chassis Dual Rec RI -> Black Chassis Dual Rec RI. I'd imagine those amps are literally identical top to bottom except for the chassis finish.
