My original point (in trying to help the guy) was that it's usually in your best interest to stick with the manufacturer's intent (6L6) and make changes elsewhere. He said the manufacturer offers both and I asked where he can order EL34 because it goes to my point. 6L6 is the manufacturer's intent. If EL34 were so popular they would actually sell a version with those tubes. Not gonna worry about him taking a burn. That's his own thing.
No, not out of line, and that could very well be...don't know. Not that big of a deal... was just curious as to what it would sound like, and was asking
You have a switch on yours? Hmm, don't think I ever touched that on my old Recto, but I do have a Mustang with a V8. There is literally a 4-cylinder engine sitting in my garage that gives me the choice of going against what Ford shipped it with. Kewl huh?
Engines literally do this now
i remember this being a big deal in the early 2000’s or so.
It's a good amp but it's voiced more like a rock amp with a more focused midrange. It's a different tone stack than the Recto, too. It is optimized for EL34. Most that tube roll (6L6) switch back to 34's it seems.
Actually, there's a lot more crap left here if you're serious about cleaning it up.....lock it too for all I care.......
