I wonder if anyone has ever tested and charted the EQ curves of different tubes? I'm sure it would vary between amps but there must be a baseline. For instance how are the mids different between EL-34 and 6550? Or even different brands of preamp tubes? :confused-smiley-010

Interesting, thanks for the thoughtful reply. So the circuit defines what changes there are? A lot of tube dealers and amp makers seem to make it sound like the tone changes - e.g. EL-34 will have a more slender low end and pronounced mids compared to 6L6 etc. Or that certain preamp tubes sound 'warmer' or more defined etc. I suppose it's all just subjective language. :food-smiley-004:
