That's it really, so...
Simon McBrideGUEST
80:10
But yeah, no the angle stuff's brilliant and it's funny because I use the angle power amp which has six L6s and the the main head is EL34 so there's a slight contrast in sound in both the left and right side.
Simon McBrideGUEST
80:22
Maybe that's good.
Simon McBrideGUEST
80:23
So it's it's cool.
Dave FriedmanPANELIST
27:57
Whatever.

EL34, I think it's for 60%, it's like 16 watts.
Dave FriedmanPANELIST
28:03
Yeah.
Dave FriedmanPANELIST
28:03
And then for its 18% or 18 watts for 70% dissipation.

Jason TongHOST
122:36
What percentage to buy us a 65 50s that there are debates.
Jason TongHOST
122:41
Judy, 6550s being 35 watt versus Transformers designed for EL34s.
Jason TongHOST
122:45
Can I get it to 60%? I don't know.
Adam ReaderHOST

Page kicked off Whole Lotta Love with a loose blues riff for the intro, playing a Sunburst 1958 Les Paul Standard through a 100 watt Marshall Plexi head amp with distortion from EL34 output values.
Adam ReaderHOST
11:11
A monster jam Page conceived on his houseboat on the River Thames that is held as one of the greatest riffs of all time.
Adam ReaderHOST
11:21
In 2014, in fact, listeners of BBC Radio 2 voted Page's riff on Whole Lotta Love as the greatest, with Slash's riff on Sweet Child of Mine coming in at second place.
Waverly GrovesGUEST
69:31
So like, that's where I'm always trying to hover is that sweet spot of a hi-fi transformer saturation.
Waverly GrovesGUEST
69:37
So this amp is like, it's got one 6L6 and in parallel with that, an EL34 in an ultra linear single ended.
Waverly GrovesGUEST
69:48
So both tubes do all the work all the time.
Waverly GrovesGUEST
69:51
and then uh and this one's usually i'm building kind of cleaning ups this one's mint it does do clean uh but it also is really great at like when you roll off the volume yeah dirt and then yeah and and i use like the the early 60s like the brown fender eq in it And, uh, and it makes for a really, and, and, um, oh, and then I've got a, but with a tweaked mid range control that like all in zero, it's like a black panel fender.
Derrick SchneiderGUEST
37:14

Christian ColabelliHOST
37:22

Christian ColabelliHOST
37:22

Derrick SchneiderGUEST
37:24
So it sounds...
Derrick SchneiderGUEST
37:25
Both tones together... like pans
Derrick SchneiderGUEST
37:29
it just sounds cool even live too like um having like the same amp but different tubes it i mean it sounds like a different tone but it's still really
Christian ColabelliHOST
37:39
oh dude 100 because derrick's is probably very low end focus with good high end and hers is mid-range
Drew CrealHOST
37:44
Yeah, so the EL34s really do have more mid-range.
RossiHOST
33:47
Yeah
Jack BiilmannGUEST
33:47
... they're that, um, you know, EL34 sort of sound.
RossiHOST
33:51
