Favorite EL34s for a Mesa Rectifier?

[lukeburke1]

I picked up a Tremoverb from Craigslist yesterday for $650. It came loaded with 6L6s, but I really liked my old Dual Rectifier with EL34s. I ordered JJs for my old Recto because they were cheap, but I wanted to get some opinions to see if there were any other brands that suit a Recto better (without paying $140 for a quad direct from Mesa). I play punk, alternative, and some classic rock.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Only looking for EL34 suggestions specifically though, no KT77s or 6CA7s

oh, you wanted something cheaper? I'd just go with JJs honestly.

Tung Sols if you want warm, smooth, and chewy.

I used Tung Sol EL34B in my Roadster before, sounded great.

I liked =C= in my Tremoverb. Been using 6L6 last several years. Usually I use Mesa tubes in my Mesa amps. Rarely anything else.
