Changed my Power Tubes

[FireBall]

I purchased a pair of THD Yellow Jackets with the EL84 power tubes for my Peavey VTM60. These were replacing the stock 6L6GC tubes. I was really surprised in the difference between them... I was expecting a huge volume cut, but I really didn't seem to get that. What did happen was that the tubes clip much much faster than the 6L6's did. I can tons of overtones much quicker. The volume is still enough to piss the neighbors off and ring my hard of hearing ears. Anyway.. I like my purchase.

That's probably down to 15 watts from 60 or so.

About -6dB or about half'ish or so as loud to the human ear, eh?

EL84's are chimey in a British sort of way.

Bias points are.


The EL84's are now way over power supplied (not in a bad way, just in a capacitive/current way).

Sag, I don't think so.
