Tung Sol 6v6 (current production) review

With NOS tubes becoming more scarce, and most supliers lacking reliability, decided to try some current production 6v6 power tubes. 

This ones where clearly a winner in the tone department.

Nice and chimey tone, with good note separation, solid bass, and the mids are warm with definition. When pushed the compression and crunch are musical and not mushy like other curtent production tubes. I feel they can stand up to some NOS tubes.

In terms of Tone control use in my victorious 14, I felt that I could go very low in the tone without going muddy, or high without being harsh... The range was better than any other tubes I tried.

Dr Scienist RRR vs mini reverberator (shootout)

I tried to use close settings on both, with subtle reverb effect, for the goal was to understand the tonal difference of the two versions of this great pedal (#95 red laser rrr, and the miniberator).
Playing a homebrew strat with reilander pickups, thru a Leonidas Victorious 14, on a quick home recording. No effects, eq, or post production was applied to the recording.

Runing a vintage (two input) amp with modern effects

One of the things I like on a vintage-styled amp is the use of parallel inputs. In the case of the Victorious 14, I have been using a direct path from the guitar to the High input, and a split, buffered path, through delay and reverb. That way I can get a lot more punch from the amp, and also can use some of its crunch without messing up the effects too much. Also it is okay to use "mix-dry/wet" type of pedal without loosing the direct sound, and also avoiding DSP conversion that some digital units do. The result gives me a great direct dry tone mixed with good warmer and balanced effects tone, and switchable trails (if I bypass the effect input).
