Hello Z-Talk!
Tube Depot tubes for amps option listed JJEL84/6BQ5 for both the Carmen Ghia and Maz 38. Sadly, that tube is out of stock, but they offered a replacement, JJ EL844.
Description states:
I don't mind the loss of headroom because I fit the description perfectly "bedroom guitarist" as I no longer gig out. My question is, I'm wondering if this fine for both my CG and Maz38 NR?
Hope this post finds everyone is well. Thank you!

Not sure specific to your question. I just saw a post from Andy Fuch's on Facebook talking about the supply issue with tubes. Sounds like it's going to be a rough go for a while.

Hi Paul G I'm pretty sure the el844 will work in a Ghia or Maz 38, but I would be suprised if you like the "loss of headroom". I tried one in my Maz 8. I didn't like it at all. It started clipping way too soon, and not in a good way. Basically, it sounded like crap. Good luck. If you try the el844, let us know what you think.

Thanks Nick, Doc's info was exactly what I was looking for! Sounds like they go well in just about everything except the CG. But then again, I moved from a place where I had a recording studio, more than an acre of land, and gigged out regularly, to a more congested neighborhood and put an amp in a closet with a mic to do some recording, or it's just bedroom level noodling. Regardless, sounds like they will do well in the MAZ, questionable in the CG. Luckily I have a draw of EL84's (spares). But with the crunch on tubes right now, this was a panic purchase. I'll keep what's in the CG now until they don't work anymore. Hopefully by then the world will have sorted itself out and tubes will be abundant again. Thanks everyone!
