Anyone like 6L6's in these amps? I haven't tried them yet. I tend to like 6L6 amps with that tight powerful bottom end. But at the volumes you need to get the sweet spot it is usually too loud for smaller clubs or jamming at home.
But with a preamp based distortion circuit like the OSD, does that matter as much? I guess I should just try it. I've got JJ's but also a couple pair of old sylvania and GE's that might sound great.
You totally gotta try it. I’m using 6L6s in my amp and I quite enjoy it. Currently I’m using Sovtek WXT+ and I’m pretty happy with it. I’m going to try some JJs next, I find I like JJ power tubes the most. I think power tube distortion is extra gravy but not necessary in an amp like this.
One of the best purchases I ever made was a UA OX. You can really crank your amp, but with headphones.
