true.
I did.

thats an RWJ quote for all who wanted to know
Man, a lot of flame going on here. It just shows that it’s absolutely ARBITRARY and subjective. There will always be those who prefer one over the other AND NOBODY IS WRONG, and are entitled to their OPINIONS. Let’s all show each other some respect, eh?
@goalieblues good point. +1
i got the little fender champ 600 and find it a bit shrill, iam getting a new speaker for it would a change of valve manufacturer soften th etone? i hear jj nice and mellow
cool
Most likely not, those amps tend to be shrill most likely due to the speaker. Make sure you get a les bright speaker.
as crazy as this may sound, I like the clean tone of a solid state more than that of a valve amp
what would you have to do to a apm head to be able to switch out tubes and mix and match.. i know the dual and triple rectifier from mesa boogie allow you to do that but im talking about say and amp head from marshall
Hey man! We don’t see you nearly often enough. MORE TAUB!
I love this guy. He’s such a “dude” and all, but stuff he says us really important and helpful to many people. This is a lesson to a lot of you people in comments. You can’t play shit guitar, yet you your EGO is spilling all over the place. Look at this guy in the video. That’s the man.
you forgot the 5881 output tube.
:39 Yes, it is important to know the different kipes of tubes available.
Great video though, I really learned a lot… Not I just need money for a decent amp.
dude your the man
sorry ,youre the man
5881 is a 6L6. 5881 is the manufacturer’s name for the tube. There are many different types of 6L6s.
I think you’re wrong. 5881 is not a brand. 6L6WGB is similar to 5881 tube which is different of 6L6GB and 6L6GA.
What’s the best tube (preamp/power) brands to get the closest Fender Clean tone out of my Traynor YCS50? it’s got 3 12ax7 and two 5881′s.. thanks inadvanced!
I have a 71 princeton reverb someone put EL84′s in,, it sounds great and is way loud,, I dont understand the mod ,,but the amp is deep and has great tone
the tube he holds up at 8:14 is NOT and EL84!
@pixelmasseuse He never claimed it was an EL84!
He stated that EL84′s are smaller than other output tubes (holds a large one up), and has similar thickness than a preamp tube (holds one up) but are higher/longer!
@pixelmasseuse He didnt say it was. It was a diameter comparison to the preamp tube.
Excellent review you are great Sir !!!
great lesson ! thx!
yeah JTM 45s used KT66s
