I have a Peavey 3120 head with EL34s and I just can't get that really dark tone out of them that I'm looking for. For about two weeks (before it blew up) I had a Randall RT-100 head and that had 6L6s. I really loved the sound of that head. Don't get me wrong, I really like the sound of my Peavey 3120, too, but I just want a darker sound.
I've heard conflicting stories. I've heard from some people the sound isn't really determined by the types of tubes but more by the rest of the parts; in other words, the tubes are secondary to the sound. :dontknow:
I'm not only looking for a darker tone but I'm looking for a little more resonance or "thrum." would the 6L6s help me achieve what I'm after or would it be a waste of money?
