Hi
I bought a marshall 6100 amp a year ago, and I do really love the sound.
But there's one thing that I don't understand...
It's got 4 6l6 tubes in it (sovtek 5881wxt which I think are 6l6 ?). Isn't marshall known for using el34 tubes ? El34's seem to have the reputation of having more mid's, which might sounds interesting for my sound.
I bought it used so maybe the previous owner loaded it with 6l6's ?
Is it possible to put in some el34's? I guess it needs a few mods then (or undoing them) ? Something for a basic DIY'er ?
It's my very first tube amp so I have little experience on the subject.
btw, It's not my intention to start a new "6l6 vs el34" topic, I am just curious about the amp.
thank you
greetings
