Is not a great sounding tube. I know they are standard issue with new Rogue amps and many others, but I think that is because of reliability and power output, not sonics. They are powerful, with good bass and dynamics, but dry sounding and lacking harmonic bloom through the midrange. Many people love them, but mostly because they have not tried something else.
I think KT66 has the best treble of these tube types, along with a holographic midrange completely lacking the upper bass bloat typical of KT88/Kt120 tubes. Definitely a more linear sound. Unfortunately you lose some bass heft (although the bass is tight) and about half the power.
