What is the best 6L6 for a V4?

[Marc]

I'm looking at retubing a '70 ampeg V4 and am wondering what every body likes for guitar appplications.
I know bass players usually prefer the 6550's, but this guy is a guitar player.
I've heard that JJ 7027's are the way to go for this amp aren't they the same as the JJ 6L6's?
Any opinions on the Sovtek 7027's?


Thanks,
Marc

Find some NOS 7027A's.

Thanks Stokes, but that is a bit out of the price range for my customer. angela has NOS pairs on ebay for $90...

It also appears the Sovtek 7027's are the same tube as the 6L6wxt / 6L6EH.
I'll see if I can get lucky on ebay with some other listings of old stock. If that doesn't work I'm leaning towards the JJ 6L6 or 7027....

put JJ 7027A's in it. They seemed to be happy and sounded good to me. I'll find out how they worked in a week or so.

I actually did consider the 6BG6's but since it was not for my personal use and cost wise they are more expensive with the adaptors, I figured I'd give the JJ's a shot.

thanks,
