These tunes brought new life to my Fender amplifier.
Great product, great price.
Thanks.

Excellent power tube. These are sweet sounding power tubes-and a great value. I use them in a Prima luna Prologue 4. I'm a huge EL-34 fan-love the PSvane Classic hifi el-34, the JJ El-34l-but the JJ is a great alternative if you are looking for a more powerful presentation, I bought all these tubes from AES-all Apex matched and burned in!!. Thanks, guys, for having such cool, capable and great sounding tubes!!:)

JJ power tubes good. I always get the rated wattage or more on any amp I put them in. Frequency response good. Converted an old Twin Reverb to cathode bias. Terrific sounding amp. Doesn't take much in this configuration to get asymmetric and then cutoff distortion from the power stage. Happy amp! Angry amp! Happy amp! Angry amp!

Best deal on 6L6GC tubes around. Recently installed a bias matched (Apex) quad of JJ 6L6GC tubes in a Fender Bassman 100 tube amp. The amp sounds amazing with tons of volume and full tone. Highly recommend.

Accidentally broke 1 of 2 of these tubes in a 1955 Seeburg Jukebox. Replaced them both with a matched set. I did not think the Jukebox could sound any better than it did, but it does. Very pleased with these tubes.

Awesome tubes! Well matched, great output.

I installed an Apex matched pair of these 6L6GCs in a 1964 Fender Super Reverb Amp. They biased to within one mA difference in plate current. They sounded good and should keep this old amp working for several more years.

I had a pretty good sounding '68 Bandmaster. These turned it into an outstanding sounding amp head. It was night and day compared to the old Sovtek's that were in there. But in their defense, they were on their last legs anyway. I'm very happy to have made this purchase.

Very nice tubes

Tubes are great
However, they were defective, and I sent them back
Antique electronic supply refused to replace them
I paid postage to send them in then back to me
Now I paid extra and have tubes that are bad
