What is "sag"
Sag is the speed at which the note blooms, or how "fast" it is. A 6L6 amp has a lot of sag. The bloom happens fast. A 6L6 tube has a slower bloom, the attack is a bit slower. And how the amp is tweaked will impact sag. Certain amp makers specialize in bloom or sag.
Some serious players only like a slow bloom while others like a fast bloom.
