Looking to pick up either the 50 or 100 Archon head in the coming weeks and have a few questions regarding the power tubes. Can the amp be loaded with either 6l6 or EL34 tubes with just a rebiasing? Or... is there specifically designated 6l6 and EL34 versions that wont handle the other tube type?
Thanks!
 
Yes to the first question. It can be used with either 6L6 or EL34. Just re-bias per PRS specs.

They sell a version labeled EL34, but I think that's just marketing. I've read that either tube type may be used. As always, contact PRS, they'll give you the whole story.

Huh? El34 that's really a 6L6?
