- In this video we will check out new JJ EL34 tubes I just got in the mail against the original tubes which are Fender-Branded 6L6's.
Simple Shootout. Like and subscribe. Let me know which is best in the comments... - Розваги
That's such a small difference (if any at all) that I could believe that they were the same clip if I didn't have visual cues
Totally agree with you. One interesting thing though - the amp's output volume with EL34's dips down a few db (I compensated in the video). The only tonal difference I can actually hear is the very very high end (8k and above) but it is an extremely minor.
@@aheadofmetal yeah, different tube types amplify different amounts, that's probably what it's attributable to. as such, who knows, maybe that high end difference you hear is just the Fletcher-Munson curve
@@LordofDiamondsMetal that could be it too. I'm sure if you turn an amp the entire way up, there would be a more pronounced difference of when they begin to break up. But for most applications, Id be willing to say power tubes dont matter much.
The 6L6 sounds better here. They're a little thicker.
El34s are more tight
Agreed, I kept them in after doing this test.
