the RT3 is primarily a tone wheel generator model. The on-board =

There may

something with pedal tones (sub-frequencies).<BR><BR>It certainly =
won't hurt
to have new tubes (valves), since it will give you backups. However, =
the
'newest' RT3 is now... old. More than likely you will find problems =

output<BR>etc.

If the new tubes don't work out, E-mail me (or Dale Probst).
