and which do you prefer?...I only have experience with EL34's until recently when I got a Laney GH100L and the Laney takes both (with a switch for auto-biasing)- I the http://https://www.stereoshore.com/el34-vs-6l6/" rel="nofollow - 6L6 's sound like they have more umph (low end) while the EL34's like to scream more to my ears... what's the difference? which do you prefer and why? |

I have no experience with guitar amps....but had a friend who had tube amp for hi fi and it used EL34s. He used to roll Mullards, JJ Electronics and Electro harmonic. We always preferred the mullards due to a beefier low end. I have a DAC with tube out buffer and prefer JJ tubes due to a nicer low end.....so I guess it depends. -------------

"It depends which sound you like". There is therefore no correct answer. ------------- |

I have a guitar amp (Egnater Rebel-20) with both 6L6 and EL84 power tubes and a knob that lets me switch between them and blend them. I honestly couldn't tell you the difference between them; maybe I just don't crank my amp enough to really hear it. ------------- https://borealkinship.bandcamp.com/releases" rel="nofollow - My prog band - Boreal Kinship |
