Members Fender Picker Posted September 2, 2006 Members Share Posted September 2, 2006 Which is the best EL84 tubes? This is what's available from good ole Doug. I have a Crate V-16 Palomino with a single 12 inch Celestion speaker. I'm looking for good sound on the bottom end. Thank you for voting and posting.

Members Fender Picker Posted September 2, 2006 Author Members Share Posted September 2, 2006 Nobody voted for the JJs yet. I figured they would get the most votes. Do the power tubes have that much effect on tone anyway? FP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Moltar Posted September 2, 2006 Members Share Posted September 2, 2006 Power tubes make and incredible difference in tone. In my marshall 9005 poweramp, I have Svetlanas on one side and EH on the other. The difference in tone between them is extremely obvious. They both sound great but the Svetlanas are very middy and will rip your face off and hurt your ears even with earplugs in.... but the EH are much more balenced and sound amazing in their own way just like the Svetlanas...just different. Way different. Experiment I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They go microphonic on me fast and are dark and dull sounding.I do have a passable pair in an AC-15 but the stock sovteks were better actually. I find sovteks to be much better tubesthan are generally acknowleged on these forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
