Here's to hoping:
I'm looking for a crossover EL34 to 6L6 tone.
I'm using gobs of power tube action these days in my amp.
I need enough 6L6'ish compression and crunch to pull off the spank and sizzle of a Fendery country tone, and the searing mid silk of an EL34 to pull off a JCM-ish hard rock lead tone on a like-configured preamp.
Will a EL34B do these things for me, or is the combi-tone descriptions from the tube vendors just marketing BS?
Which of these two tubes gives me the most authentic rendition of these two tones?
