When I got my JJ tubes for my Mark IV, I order 4 6L6s and 2 EL34s. I haven't tried the EL34s yet. What are your opinons of these tube configs?

Thanks.
 
I would like to try that combo and am wondering the difference as well.
Cudbucket, could you describe the difference in tone between the stock Mesa tubes versus the JJ's? Thanks.
 
I'd have to say they're a bit more closed or focused. A pinch higher gain too. And I'm not necessarily saying they're better. Just different. I like them alot and I liked the Mesa tubes too.
 
In my MKIII. I like the EL34/6L6 combo.

One note, them JJ 6L6's always run real cold. Actually, I find JJ 6L6's to run very cold in any amp. Just an observation.
