E34L's AND 6L6's in a V3?


Hmm. Interesting question. Could I put E34L's (not EL34's, but E34L's...it's not a typo) and 6L6's in my Carvin V3? It has 4 power tubes, so when it's on 100W mode, I could have all 4 going (obviously) and then when it's set to 50W, have 1 E34L and 1 6L6 running? If so, what would it sound like?

I've been told that you can bias an amp to any setting if you have a good tech. So yeah. Possible, and if so, what are the expected tones?

i'm pretty sure that when he'd bias it it wouldnt sound good. He couldnt get each tube running optimally, one would need to be colder and the other hotter, you'd most likely be best off running 6L6s or E34Ls(I'd recommend the E34Ls, who doesn't like them some mids?)
