Vacuum Tube - EL84 / 6BQ5, Tung-Sol Reissue
Due to many requests by fans, the Tung-Sol EL84/6BQ5 has been reissued. The Tung-Sol EL84 / 6BQ5 was a popular OEM tube for American-made EL84 / 6BQ5 guitar amplifiers, such as those built by Gibson and Harmony. Due to its rugged construction and conservative ratings, it is the most reliable current production EL84 type available for use in Vox AC-30 type amplifiers. In addition, its linearity and tone characteristic make it the ideal replacement for EL84 hi-fi amplifiers, such as those built by Fisher, Scott, and Harmon-Kardon. Tube measurements are as follows:
- Height: 2.75” (without pins)*
- Diameter: 0.87”*
*Note: Due to the method of production in regards to the glass, measurements may vary slightly.

How would these hold up in a Peavey Delta Blues 115 (II) that came with jj's stock?
Asked by Anonymous on April 6th, 2017.
These will have a bit more gain that the JJ's and have a nice amount of articulation.
