I know this is a search topic, I have Im a metal / Rock player have jj el34s, RM 50 dig the tone amp getting a lil muddy. anyhow looking for some ideas on your favorite replacements. 1086 and not to satisfying Top boost....
Looking for a Markus. Thx
 
If you like EL34 but they are getting old (muddy)...try KT77 :)

Personally I always use a boost out front, no mud :)
 
Thanks for the replies. I have a 1086 and use a sparkle drive with a nova delay in the loop. Its sounds killer. I get a lot of complements. its starting to fade a bit. Tubes have a lot of hours on them. I tend to run the master at about 4 and the 1086 level at 2/3 is that ok?
 
I've always liked 6550's over el34, or 6l6 for slightly tighter sound. Although you might want to take a look at your preamp tubes. IMHO they have a much more dramatic effect on tone.
 
the 1086 and a shitty top boost for clean lol....really thinking about the camerica and a mashall...I quit playing for years when all this stuff was really hot. So now im back into a band and still digging the RM 50.
