Sounds as good or better than Mesa branded tubes that I was comparing them too. Amplifier is Meas Boogie Express 2:25 Plus. This amp has a fixed bias (set at a medium range, so make sure you tell your tube supplier that you want at least a medium bias tube. That being said most guitar amps (including this one) that use EL84s run the bias current to the max, So a heavy duty high bias version would be even better.

I've heard a lot of people say that these sovtek el84s are underwhelming. I beg to differ. I have them in a restored Magnavox 9300 Amp modified to David Gillespie's design and they sound at least as good if not better than anything I've ever heard. The sound is stunning. I'm not some self proclaimed tube audiophile whatever but after hearing these tubes go, I'm hard pressed to believe something 5x more expensive is really 5x as good. They sound slightly better than the unmatched Mullard tubes that I received with the Amp. Take that as you may. They were easy to bias and the sound is clean and sharp with a sound stage I didn't think possible from my midrange Sony speakers.

These tubes are the best value on the market as far as EL-84 replacements. I have ‘em in both my Peavey Classic 30 and my Mesa Nomad 45 combos & both sound better than ever. Particularly in the higher gain channels

I chose this Sovtek EL84 matched quad for their bargain price. I installed them in an AC30 type amp and I like them for their tone and durability too. These tubes exceeded my expectations.

Interesting thing about these tubes is that I don't believe (In my amp) they are making any more watts in power than the standard EL84, but the Dynamic range (Headroom) with these tubes is considerably larger ! Perhaps it's just in my amp circuit, but either way I will take it !!! Happy I bought these, and the price was small and they are well worth every penny !
