I ran one in a Dr. Z for a while and liked it, but I realized I liked the warmer tube GZ34 better.

Benefits...... Reliability, tighter sound

Against...... Not quite as "warm" as a tube rectifier, a little more top end breakup.

The tone was probably no different than if I switched rectifier tubes, but I like my JJ rectifier better..... just a warmer tone, seems to have more "compression" on tap. And it seems to have a less aggressive top end breakup.

That's just what I heard..... I'm keeping my copper cap for a backup, as I could get buy with one for a long time if I needed to.

copper cap = good, but not for everyone.
