not doing much under 100Hz??

63.251.152.4

Hmmm, I hadn't heard that. Funny considering it was loved for a guitar amp. Anyhow my experiences are totally opposite. I think the 6V6 kicks serious ass on bass. I never spent much time using NOS tubes so maybe that is why. But still I found your comment interesting considering what my ears tell me.

I always assumed it wasn't as popular since it has less power than the el84.

My amp did so good in the bass I was convinced I had a grid choke/coupling cap problem. But when I finally got around to measuring it the sucker was close to ruler flat. Results are posted on diy tube. Search for "Voltage measurements on amp with grid chokes " if you are interested.
