its a good deal for 76 for sure and yes i agree its probably been back and forth from 6550 to el34's back to 6550's. i have worked on a few of these. nice amps. ;)

sounds like something in the bias circuit that was modified to fit the 6l6's. might want to have that checked before you fry those tubes or even worse an output transformer.

i hear ya and agree. Tread lightly past 70% indeed. but again i'm treating them as el34's so its still 70% of 25w. i agree that's way low for the 6550's (35w tube) but a gain any higher and you are putting stress on the OT and PT as well.

i appreciate the post,

you misquoted me!
it should have read: "For me, in my opinion, and what i look for as far as tone goes, voice goes, the g12-65's sound horrible but tone is in the hears of the beholder."
About the only thing i could add to make it clearer is that they sound horrible in this...
Yes, you can split hairs but the comparison is dead nuts as far as i'm concerned.
On the point of reverb they both had reverb!?!
On the point of how they are mic'd they both are mic'd to get the sound i get in the room. its how I record any clip, to capture the sound i hear in the room.
The...
bias on both sets was 70% MPD. for those that are saying the g1265's sound good, you're sure your listening to the third clip? i think they sound, for a lack of a better word, horrible but that's only my opinion i guess. :)
