What if??

What if my amp is supposed to have 6L6 tubes and it actually has EL34's? The amp is a Carvin x-100B. I like the sound and have had the tubes in it for a couple of years and it sounds GREAT! I am the one that put the current tubes in it and I didn't know anything about "so stinkin' tubes" when I put them in it but I have been reading the posts in this furum and it got me wondering. And the people I bought them from probably didn't have the knowledge they should have and probably just didn't care as long as they sold the tubes.

If it sounds - ok - why not !?

Harry Kolbe did it! Other wellknown guys did it with their Fenders...

Biasing?

Other than the normal biasing issues, do different tubes require a different biasing?
