The JJ Electronic EL34 II is a different construction of the classic EL34 tube that offers a different tonal palette than the original. This tube has a more compact plate structure than standard EL34’s. The JJ EL34 II has an increased low to low-mid end with plenty of headroom to spare. This tube has a thick and tight bass response. The mids are balanced and harmonically rich with pleasantly smooth highs. The JJ EL34 II is stronger than the original but not harsh sounding in any way. When overdriven, this tube has a warm and dynamic distortion that rivals many vintage tubes.
Matched versions of this tube use Apex Matching

I have a 30 watt marshall artist with one 12ax7 and 2 el34 tubes. How much lower would the output volume be? 30 watts is way too loud for me.

The JJ EL34II tube will offer earlier power tube breakup than a standard JJ EL34 but will not change the overall output of your amplifier in a significant way. Both tubes are rated at 25W so the difference would be in the plate structure which allows you to achieve a slightly tamer output with earlier breakup.

Any significant tonal difference?

The EL34 II has a different, narrower plate structure which produces a tight, creamy overdrive distortion at a lower overall acoustic volume level as compared to a JJ EL34.

Are these compatible with my mark 111 boogie?

If your amp calls for EL34's then these should work. You will want to specify "middle numbers" in the notes section of the checkout process for compatibility with your Boogie.
Product Reviews
Precisely matched tube set is a breeze to bias!
Recently retubed a Marshall 100 watt plexi. The old Svetlana EL34s were replaced w JJEL34ii power tubes. Balanced and biased a bit hotter than factory....the results are excellent, rich tone with deep tight bothom end and much smoother mids and highs. I am quite pleased
