kleuck « 6V6 to EL84 Adapter: Excellent yes, but ... »
Published on 05/12/11 at 03:006V6/EL84 adapter (to mount an EL84 in a media 6V6)
Power: within 5 watts (at best)
Connections: Octal / noval
UTILIZATION
... Nothing to configure, but you must learn about his amp before use (even before purchase)
SOUNDS
Variable.
OVERALL OPINION
Tried in a Special VHT 6 deeply changed.
The opinion is mixed, with the original bias resistor, the sound is small and cramped ama, logically, the quiescent current of an EL84 in this circuit is very low to very top draw power, dynamics or serious we are entitled to expect.
However, I got excellent results with one of my amendments provided for the use of 6L6 with a bias ideal: a cathode resistance of 250 ohms, which sticks very well with an EL84 in these tensions.
On the other hand, a majority of amps based 6V6 operate with a supply voltage much higher than of the Special 6, and for once completely incompatible with the use of an EL84.
Mistrust, my opinion is that summary is an indispensable gadget to tinker, allowing one or two strings to get another sound / grain / gain without having to drill / mount a second support for EL84 etc., but for the average user (that's nothing pejorative eh) which does not reach into his amplifier, it is likely to be a disappointment.
