Had a great discussion with forum member Perry on these sets. Perry is awesome to work with and made great points on tube selection for each amp.
Ordered a few matched quads. Can't wait to get them in the amp and tested out.
Perry has a lot of knowledge and is a lot of fun to communicate with too.
We settled on low current quads for my Matchless DC30. Pretty punishing amp and my wall voltage can run high too. I have his matched quads for my Mazerati already.
Hoping the 6n14n tubes will make it longer than 1 year.... JJs need replaced every year

I have a clone HC30 that was my primary amp before my Zs. I found that Shuguangs sounded better and lasted longer than JJs in that. I haven’t been playing the HC30 in a while, but am saving my 6n14n tubes for my ZWreck (still on the original set of 6n14n tubes after years, despite being my most-played amp.) I anticipate that you’ll be pleased with the tonality and reliability of them.

They will last longer - and sound better imho. I think that there are 4 or 5 different spec for these in terms of durability. I’ve got a few dozen from years ago… but I just got a not from Mike at KCANOS tubes that he’s got NOS in the box stock.

Got the tubes a day early. Enjoying them so far. Have band practice tomorrow. Also, we are trying out a second guitar player too. Should be a hoot.

Used the 6n14n tubes at practice yesterday. 4 hours. Really had the amp cooking. Just a beautiful bright thick tone. Plenty of mids and cut through the mix well for solos. Love these tubes.
