power tubes- can you tell the difference in this video?


Recommended Posts

Scroll down after watching the embedded youtube video to see which was which.

Post how many you could guess, and wether or not your perspective was changed about NOS tubes...

 

I guessed the 6L6 right, and didn't bother guessing which one was the mullard... the differences sounded insignificant to my ear between the new el34 and the NOS el34.

"Do you prefer the mushy/muddy/inarticulate tone, the mushy/muddy/inarticulate tone, or the mushy/muddy/inarticulate tone?" I heard no discernable difference between the first two, and didn't care to hang around any longer for the 3rd. This is in no way a meaningful "test," nor is it representative of any particular tube. He could've gotten the same sounds by plugging into a Big Muff pedal and a cheap SS amp, imo.
