[QUOTE="khingpynn, post: 6593, member: 579"] First here is what I own currently... Koch Multitone 2x12 combo, Soldano Hot Rod 50 Marshall Slant with greenbacks, Randall Lynch Box. It is worth noting that I own approx... 200 tubes. I've owned 2 JCM 800's in the past, a small marshall 1x12 and some Fender and Peavy amps. EL34 are that classic British sound which is signified with a top end sparkle, mids that are voiced round and a large warm bottom that can be fartty if your not carefull. Attack is more relaxed spongy. There is a 3 D quality and a wideness to the overall frequency spectrum... a big wall of sound. EL34 tend to sound BIG and loud but not project as well as 6L6. 6L6 are that classic American sound with a tight focused top with less sparkle and more edge, mids that are very pronounced and voiced in the upper mid freqs, a bottom that is tight and punchy. Attack is razor sharp. There is a very focused sound to the overall frequency spectrum. 6L6 project very well and do not have that BIG wide sound like EL34. Hope this helps. Khing [/QUOTE]
