What are you guys running in new production 6L6's

[Ascension]

Been a little while since I have bought a new set of 6L's so what are your recommendations?

I have a matched quad of Russian-made 6L6WXT+​ Sovteks in my Quad Reverb. They are nice and glassy with the cleans, and they scream with a pedal.

i like the tad ge model for my pro reverb and bandmaster, i prefer the rca style in my dual showman reverb.

ive heard good things about the tone of the tung sol 6l6gc-str but not tried em. granted im running vintage type circuits so ymmv

My 120W Laney Ironheart came w/ JJ's and I think it sounds fantastic. Time comes to retube it will be w/ JJ's again.

My other amps are either SS or run other tubes (EL34's/84's/5881's etc) so ^^ that's all the 6L6 experience I have..

I tried them. I thought they were alright for what it's worth. They're kinda soft-sounding with a rounder high-end and a thuddy rather than deep bottom-end.

I personally prefer bolder-sounding 6L6's. I like the Ruby 6L6GC-MSTR myself.

EHX and JJ's, I like them just fine.

Tung Sol reissues in my Single Rec and 5F6-A clone.

I like JJ 6L6GCs because they work well and I've been able to find them for cheap. Have also used Sovtek 6L6WXT+s and they work great too. Honestly though, I've never noticed a huge difference in sound quality with power tubes (haven't really tried a ton though) - I just want them to work and not be hissy/noisy.

I've had great results with JJ's and Ruby's.

Thanks guys. I got the 2017 PRS Custom 50 on Monday and it still have the factory Ruby 6L6 STR in it. They have some age on them and I want to drop a new set in her. Also have the 2019 PRS Archon 50 so will buy a quad of something. Haven't had an Amp that runs 6L6's in quite a few years so needed some advice on what is the go to current choices.
