Been sitting in Customs a week, first in years they plonked GST on. Finally picked it up today. 1935 Harmony parlour with original case both in great condition. First in a while no reset needed.

Good thing I can do away with my 'sudent' guitars now that I'm a 'professional' guitarist.

I just ordered a quad of Soviet era 6P14P-K Matched and tested. $95 including shipping, so cheaper than regular JJs here. They are also known as EL-84L. The L stands for long life. Anybody used these before?

I found a post by the Russian guy that sources those 6P14P-K valves from the military. There are long life ones, but these are not that. The K stands for vibration resistant, which i presume may also mean low microphonics. I am quite keen to see what they are like when they get here. I will have a spare pair, which I might part with if somebody wants to try them. I think they are Reflector, but should be a cut above the standard EL-84 they do for EHX etc, at least for quality specs. It is just for the Laney.

Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

They look good. Low microphonics and longer life. I am not sure if it is actually true, but I have always understood EL84 and to some extend 6V6 wear out faster than bigger valves when driven hard for long hours like I do. If true the extended life versions may be a money saver if you can get them for a good price like I did.

Might go well in Vox combos then. That '60s AC30 I played with years ago always sounded its best with Sovteks.Aquila Rossa wrote:I found a post by the Russian guy that sources those 6P14P-K valves from the military.
