Nov 5 2005 1 i have a gig tonight i am using ruby el34 s and 12ax7 s the amp is a hughes and kettner duotone.
Last choice ruby 6v6gtstr.
This is more accelerated on output power tubes like 6l6.
Also they have a brighter top end with more bite.
As you use your tube amp tubes wear out due to the heat it generates.
I ve not tried them this year but since the eh 6v6 is currently working so well and sounding so good we re sticking with them unless things change.
Jj vs ruby preamp tubes.
Jj 6v6 tubes are very reliable but don t sound like 6v6s to me.
Groove tubes 6l6ge amazon us http amzn to 2f0wct4 amazon uk http amzn to 2mywnav do different 6l6 tubes and equivalents such as the 5881 make any s.
Instead i recommend buying nos or even used usa 5y3s.

Because of this there are many versions by different manufacturers.
Today it is by far the most common preamp tube used for electric guitar amplification and there is an almost overwhelming supply of current production options to choose from.
It would be lame to splurge on one and wait a few months and go back to normal tubes.
Ruby post by jason41224 mon oct 04 2010 11 09 pm i could never get into nos tubes unless i consistently could get a supply of them.
6l6 tube is a very popular output tube in guitar amps.
Rca and sylvania first introduced the 12ax7 to the world in the late 1940s.
Jj s 5y3 rectifiers are good but they can rattle in a combo.
A comparison of current production 12ax7 tubes.
The sovteks rattle and they put out too much voltage.

Tall bottle solid black plate.
With a nice grind.
I like ruby 6v6s.
All current production 6l6 tubes are great tubes.
I am using a paduak and curly maple custom hollowbody w duncan 59 humbuckers i think this paring is kinda bright and.
Ruby el 34bstr s when you turn the volume up are going to break up much sooner than jj e34l power tubes and will sound warmer.
A couple of years ago these were great tubes but in early 2019 we started getting way too many that were bad crackling right out of the box.
