Product Reviews
My fave current production EL84’s.
Great price too!
Tested these tubes against TADs and JJs in a home-built amp with a preamp based on the JCM800. These have a clearer distortion sound, if that makes sense. Also these have notably more midrange and smoother highs than the TADs and JJs. I highly recommend these for any EL84 amp in which you want to get a smooth power amp distortion sound and get clarity without harsh treble.
