I like the sound of the Sovtek EL84 in my Egnater Rebel and Mod 102 kit amp. I prefer them over other brands that I have tried. Good sounding tubes and long lasting!
This is the first time I will be trying these since the price jumped so dramatically. I hope they will hold up the the new price against other (formerly) higher priced tubes.
Good sounding solid tube. I like the tone of the Sovtek over other EL84s that I have tried.
Got this tube to replace the bad microphonic El84 in an epiphone valve Jr combo amp sounds great and was here in 2 days excellent !
These tubes have a full bodied sound and have been reliable in the past. These are always my first choice.
Best thing I ever did for my old Eico HF-81
I originally get a set of JJ branded tubes, and they just didn't last very long.
These have a much better sound.
Excellent replacement for some bad JJ tubes I bought from another tube store. I’m using a Peavey Classic 30. They break up a little sooner than the JJ’s, but still plenty of clean headroom. Nice warm tone, no noise.
