ARS JJ 6L6 VS. Winged C/SED 6L6

[Classic 59]

Has anyone tried both of these tubes? I am trying to make a decision between the two and would value your feedback.

Thanks!

Both are OK You might get more "bad ones" from JJ.And they take a while to burn in.FWIW

Uh, not if they're tested properly and burned in by the vendor.

If or who test them.I have bought tubes that were "good' but then burned out right away.Like a light bulb.The best thing is get as many tubes as possible and test in YOUR amp.Just like Pedals some sound better in front of one amp and shit in another Tube screamers dont sound good in Fenders but great in a plexi Marshall.I have a Vox booster that sounds great in my Plexi 100w but not my Bandmaster.Same with tubes

I used both in the DeVille that I used to own. The Winged Cs lasted a bit longer (~2-3 months). They're a bit brighter as well. I can't really remember specifics since it was a while back but I remember really liking the Winged Cs.
