  • Hello friend you are saturating the outlet valve, correct?

    Beautiful tone

  • Correct, man!

  • Nice test. Thank you for not doing this test with that..what is it...Marshall kit? back there. Purity with less in the signal path really lets the characteristics of the tube come through.

  • Yes, that other is a JCM800 clone

  • You can practice with a band at normal volumes: Champ + 2x12 speakers?

    thanks !

  • Yes, easily! But with no clean tones.

  • enough of an inspiration for me to change my 6505 to 6v6's. Great video!

  • I like the EL34s more - balzier

  • Sovtek with the 6V6 sounded really nice, I am very pleasantly surprised. I love the sovteks they are gritty and more marshallesque (crappier with less band width perhaps). The 6V6 is a lovely gutsy sound without the upper end sonic mayhem of an el84. Feeling better about having bought a 6V6 combo unheard on eBay last night. This playing is basically the style and sound I mostly live in.

  • There's a big difference between the Phillips and the RCA 12AX7's with the 6V6's. Is the Phillips inherently softer and less bright, or is the RCA just pushing the output more? Thanks.

  • Me parece que a El34 é melhor pra tocar Hendrix na epoca do Experienced. Me diz o que acha?

    O som da el34 me parece mais macio. Vou trocar as 6v6 do meu Egnater Tweaker por el34. Sinto muita falta de grave e "corpo" no som, talvez seja porque as 6v6 distorcem mais cedo.

  • 6L6 Winner!

  • dude which vavle would you recomend for my Marshall s80 for getting more gain and power,is there any better tube than 12ax7??

  • @MrGodam29 haha get high mofo........
