Does this guy really work for Marshall? If there's no audible difference between tube types then we're all wasting money and should just go to solid state.
Viking...Yes he does work for Marshall and I'm only passing on what he said.
As I said I have not heard an el34 4100 and was only passing on what he told me.
Bottom line is if you want an EL34 amp get an EL34 amp
I'm very happy with mine. However it really comes down to the guitars used, eq and guitar tone controls. Lots of mucking around but all the more fun
