Hi Guys,
My trusty JCM 2000 TSL602 2x12 combo has done a tube :cuss so it's replacement time. I just pulled out the originals and they are as follows: -
- Svetlana Electron Devices Inc EL34 (Made in Russia)
I play mainly blues and hard rock (Zeppelin, Guns , pub rock) and I quite like the tones that get with these (the 2 x 12 cab is running Wolverines)
So, it would appear that my choices are: -
- JJ Tesla Electronics EL34 Power Amp Valve
- Svetlana EL34 SV Power Amp Valve
- Mullard EL34 Power Amp Valve
- Electro-Harmonix EL34EH
- Ruby EL34B STR Power Amp Valve
- Groove Tubes EL34M
- Winged C EL34
Also, given that I'm replacing both - is there a benefit to having the two new tubes 'matched'?
Based on the styles of music I'm into, can anyone recommend something from the above options that would suit?
Thanks in anticipation!
Matt
