Just wondered what you felt the key differences were in the character of these valves in a Rockerverb 50?
I currently have a AD30htc which I really like but m considering getting a Rockerverb 50 also, I have used the amp live and got on really well with it, warm, articulate and responsive...having used it in the studio I felt it was a little (and this is where its difficult to explain) fuzzy round the edges......I realise its a different amp to the AD30 which I have played and loved for years but the version I played was the mk1 with 6l6's.
Do you think that the EL34's in a Rockerverb would provide me with a slightly less spongy, compressed sound than I experienced with 6l6's....
I really enjoyed using the mk1 live with the volume half way and the gain at about 11 oclock, great blusy, rock and roll tones to be had....I mistakenly thought that the Rockerverb was predominantly used for really heavy music....I was completely wrong, I would never use the gain past 2 oclock on the dial but it sounded great for what I wanted.....almost!
For what its worth the clean channel is one of the best I have ever experienced too!
Any thoughts on this would be really helpful, thanks for your time!
