Some Criminal, lying IDIOT called "Skipp" ??


** Bull****.

The voltages experienced are within the spec for any
decent EL34 or 6L6GC.

And those "decent" el-34 - 6L6GC tube data sheet/specs are where?

** Any good data book.


How about an actual mfgrs 6L6GC data sheet?


** The spec you need to check is the one for *absolute max* plate voltage.

It is typically quoted as 2000 volts (or more) for both the EL34 and the
6L6GC.

Very high peak plate voltages *are* experienced in a guitar amp.

In a Marshall it can reach *5000* volts peak during overdrive !

In a Music Man it cannot exceed 1500 volts or double the plate supply.

That is what those HV plate diodes do.



We'll be waiting to see if you can find an EL-34 or 6L6GC data sheet
or manual, which provides a manufactures spec for operation above...
say even 650 volts.


** Output tubes operate at well over 1000 volts peak in the majority of
guitar amplifiers.

In a Marshall, or similar amp, peak plate voltage can reach +/- 5000.

Data sheets for the EL34 give the *plate max voltage* as 2000 volts.



The max **plate supply** is given as 800 volts.

Which has NOTHING to do with "hi=pot" testing.

Only a COMPLETE ****WIT does not KNOW the distinction.

"Skipp" is just such a COMPLETE ****WIT.
