Hey I was just wondering: is anyone else running the EHX (or other) 6CA7 tubes instead of EL34's?

These things kill! Way fuller tone than EL34s, but they keep the aggression, which means they basically kill 6L6s completely.
All my modules love them too, Mu?eca (custom tweed), Mash-all+, Salvado, XTC ..

I'm considering sticking some KT88 or 6550's in the other side of the RT2/50, so there's a bit more variation.
Has anybody here tried combining 6CA7's with those?

6CA7s were standard in Traynor amps in the 60s.
And Musicmans in the 70s!!

That's how I found them, the bassplayer has a Musicman head, I tried those tubes in my RT2/50 and was blown away!
