Re: Questions for Guitar Players

guitar players are very finicky about the tube type, so it would make a difference on sales to one. I have two guitar amps, a Fender Champ and a Marshall Studio 15, I picked both of them by sound, but both use the 6V6. 6V6, 6L6, EL34 and EL84's will be the big draws. Most guitarists know nothing about circuits, but know what tubes they like. As far as modern tubes go, you have to experiment to find a model that works at your operating points. There's a guy in town who makes amps with EL84's driven hard, and he's found one particular new brand that will last a reasonable time; others just don't hack it.
