What Rebranded EL34s Come Stock With The JMD?

[Beck-Ola]

What make of EL34 output tubes come shipped with the JMD:1? They are badged as Marshall, of course. I saw in the MA section that Steve said the EL34s in the MA100 are Svetlana Winged "C"s (SED?) So are those the stock ones in the JMD too?

The ones that came with my amp look a tiny bit different than the ones in Dale's photo. The slots at the top and bottom are a bit wider and the ones in Dale's photo have a couple of extra cut-outs at the bottom (of the grey thing). And a couple other differences. So I guess maybe they're not the Winged "C"s in the JMD? Then what are they, pray tell. Thanks!

Shuaguang.

Thanks, Steve!

Any particular reason you chose those over the Winged "C", since you use them in the MA? I've heard mostly good things about the Winged "C". I've heard varying reports on the Shuaguang, some good, some bad. These are the EL34BSTR?

Maybe the Shuaguangs sound better than the SEDs in this particular model?

Or perhaps they've been found to be more reliable? Seems curious to not have the same EL34 as the MA series.
