RE: The EL34B is a Chinese designation, but the tube is, electricially speaking.....

I just had a client bring in a Blackstar guitar amp using a pair of Chinese EL34B output tubes, TAD selected.

One tube has a control grid short, and the other measures 50% of normal, an unusually low reading for any power tube in my tester.

The amp is less than two years old and has reportedly had only moderate use. There are no bias supply or coupling capacitor issues.
