Has anyone with a Epi Valve Jr head , swaped the Sovtek EL-84 for a JJ and if so describe the tone difference . I know the JJ is a better tube , I just want to know how much better the tone is . Today I swaped the stock Electro-Harmonix 12ax7 pre-amp tube for a vintage Jan-Philips 12ax7 and it sounds great . Its also not as noisy as the EH tube was .
