Welcome to Perky's Analog Gear Demos. Please subscribe for more demos of vintage rare effects pedals! • A few weeks ago, I made a video comparing some EL34 and KT77s from JJ...and as we found, there was barely any difference between them...and certainly nothing that couldn't be compensated for with a tiny adjustment of the amp's controls. • When shopping for those tubes, there was also another question I wanted to answer. JJ's are typically reliable, good sounding, affordable tubes....most amp techs will fit them as standard. But what about the so-called premium tubes that cost twice as much? I'm not going to go into NOS tubes today as I think that's a very different conversation. But when buying tubes, is it worth the money to go to the higher priced 'glossy presentation' ones? Is what they say true; or just marketing cobblers trying to get you to part with more money? • So today, I'm going to compare the 'standard' JJ KT77 tubes with some Genalex Gold Lion reissues. They claim these tubes are 'artful' and use premium gold-plated components. But does that actually affect....anything? • What do you think? A tiny difference? Or literally not worth bothering with? Comment below! • Guitars are a Gibson SG Standard w/ OX4 Low-Wind A4 PAFs; a Gibson Les Paul Studio w/ Bare Knuckle Nantucket HSP90s; and a Gibson Les Paul Custom w/ OX4 Hot Duane PAFs. All recorded through a Hughes Kettner Puretone (Fane Ascension F70 speaker; Aston Spirit Condenser, Shure SM57 sE R1 ribbon mics) with a Schoeps CMC6 room mic. • 0:00 Intro • 3:34 Clean • 5:48 Low Gain • 7:36 Higher Gain • 9:23 Outro • • [email protected] • Vector images by freepik.com
