Members Charliemills Posted May 16, 2008 Members Share Posted May 16, 2008 This is kind of a follow up to my previous post: 6L6 vs El84 (which some of you gently corrected me and told me I meant EL34) Well, what are some good brands of EL34. What brand should I get fools!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Carcinogen Posted May 16, 2008 Members Share Posted May 16, 2008 How do you want your amp to sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Charliemills Posted May 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 16, 2008 I don't really have anything specific in mind. I generally only use rock or blues type tones if that helps at all (ie. no metal, or country, or jazz). I don't even really remember what EL34's in my amp sound like. Does the tone of a specific type of tube really vary greatly from brand to brand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members newholland Posted May 16, 2008 Members Share Posted May 16, 2008 i've really enjoyed the flying c svetlanas (not standard svets), nice midrange, great breakup, but sorta soft in the bottom. insofar as 'traditional' 34's are concerned, those were my faves, outside of NOS.. for another taste-- i really like the EH 6ca7-- it's glassier and harder than a 'real' 34, but it's got more bass, and top end clarity. good fer bite-- it's basically like a 6l6 with juicier mids, to my ears! great for thunderous lows..
