Ok,
So my Laney VC 30 has EL83/4's in here ( forget wich one ) now, what will i have to do to the amp for her to take EL 34's?
Or is this just a stupid question?
thanks guys

There are a couple of companies that make adapter bases that will allow you to swap tubes. However, I doubt EL34s would fit in the same space as EL84s; they're about 3x the size!

You have to cut bigger holes, install differenct tube sockets, rewire a lot of stuff, change some cap/resistor values. Easier to sell the amp and get what you really want.
