Svetlana EL34,is it good sh**t ?

[Voxman]

I need new tubes for my vox ac30ss and i`m kinda lost in the jungle.
I`v read some articles about the svetlanas but i`m not sure they`ll give me a tight bass response. What do you think,should i go for sovtek or tesla instead ?
And,where do you buy your tubes online? (paypal)

JJ EL-84's are currently the best bang for buck, and most EL-84 fans are using them. The real fun should be experimenting with 1st position pre tubes, to see how good you can get the preamp in your AC-30 to sound.

I'd probably go with JJ power tubes, a Tungsol 1st position, and whatever's in it for the rest. Sovtek and JJ make good rectifier tubes.

Wait, doesn't the ss in ac30 ss stand for solid state?
