What's EL-34's is Dave using in the current Small Box 50's?

[Luke Gibson]

Time for some new tubes for my Small Box. I'm curious what Dave is using/suggesting for retubing. Mine is a 2014 and currently has ARS labeled EL-34's..... Thanks!!

In a recent webcast he said he switched over to Electro Harmonix for new amps. He’s having less failed tubes in testing with them.

Actually no failed tubes.

With the EH

Thank you! Musicians friend sells the Duets in Soft, Med, and Hard which should I order?

 

[RACKSYSTEMS]

Don't really understand there rating but med..I guess

Dave - Are you also using EH EL34s in your BE100's? I've got a '14 with ARS' and it's about time to replace them. Also, what pres are you recommending these days? Thanks!

 

[RACKSYSTEMS]

Yes all the el34 amps we are using EH as of now.

Yeah, I wasn't sure either but thought medium would be a safe bet.... maybe, lol!

That's all I've used for years and never had a failed tube. EHs
