EL34's in a Dual Rectifier - Si or No?

[Terex]

Interesting! Was expecting 6L6 way above EL34's.

Any experience with the EL34's vs 6L6 in the Rev F's? I have a Triple rev F, wondering if I also should try them. I've only played it with 6L6's, very curious how the 34's will sound!

Your Triple clips sound pretty killer as is... just saying.

-1 for EL34's in a recto.

I've owned many, and 6L6's sound much bigger. They also capture that Recto tone better.

Contradictory statement is contradictory.

Huh

-1 means the opposite of +1

Doesn't matter what recto. Even my Kyle Rhodes modded rev F triple liked EL34's better.

Will kt77 or e34l tubes get a tremoverb to sound a bit more uberschall-like? As in smoother saturation and bigger bass and low mids

No, not at all in my opinion. Uberschall is a scooped amp, especially the original and rev 2. IMHO, 6L6's would be better. EL34's in a recto just make it sound warmer and liven up the mid range. If anything, it makes them sound more towards the early sounding revs, or more "soldanoish."

6L6 sounds better and bigger for me.

I ONLY like El-34's in my Dual Rec.

I have a Ref F Triple and I prefer 6L6's. That said, EL34's sounded cool too. Just a little more mid-range gets added. Both are cool. I wish it were simulclass so I can run 4 6L6's and 2 EL34's. I bet that would kill.

Ok, sorry. I must have thought it was a hyphen.

Thank you very much sir

 

[richedie]

EL34s 100%!

Best ones I find are the JJ E34Ls and EL34IIs.
Tight, punchy, lively, aggreasive, thick, warm and expressive.

 

[Marshall Freak]

Definitely prefer el34.

 

[Metal1977]

I tried the Shuguang EL34-B's in my Triple Rev F and Dual Rev D, not bad but i prefer 6L6's. For me, the SED Winged C 6L6's are hard to beat in a Recto.

 

[Rex Rocker]

5881's also sound cool in a Recto, IMO.

 

[jkdsteve]

Used to run some old=ass RFT EL34s in mine...sounded glorious...forget who they were manufactured by.....EL34BSTR second choice. I wish I had my Recto still so I could try Gold Lion KT-77s.
