Archon 50 mk II with el34s

Also, could I run 6l6gc tubes in this amp?

It's possible, but you'd need a very careful rebias, and even then, it still might be a bad idea – depends on the design of the amp. Definitely ask PRS about that before you try, because serious power tube failure can take out other components that are much more expensive, or even impossible, to replace.

I had already contacted PRS regarding the 6l6gc tubes in this amp. They had advised that I could use 6l6 tubes, but hadn't mentioned the 6l6gc version which is different. Already ran the el34s and then switched back to the 6ac7s and called it good.

Sounds much better through computer speakers or similar. Not so hot through the phone speaker of course. Some metal/rock:

and doing some blues:

Thanks for taking the time to post the blues clip .. very nice playing and great tone. I like the clarity and forward, crisp response to your picking

Where did you have the gain set for that clip?

Gain on the amp is kept at 11 o’clock. Overdrive pedal is a Moskey Silver Horse with gain set low and used mostly to boost a bit. Volume on guitar was backed down to about 7-8. I very much appreciate the kind words man.
