Gold Lion EL84, Single Tube

I added this tube to my Bugera Infinium G5 combo amp and it -- along with a new Tung Sol preamp tube -- made my pretty good little practice amp into a real tone machine. The amp is louder and has a brighter tone and sounds just as good as a Carr Mini-Mercury amp I owned for a number of years. Total cash outlay for amp + tubes was under $300.00. I'm not even considering a replacement speaker at his time because this amp sounds GREAT.

Picked one of these up to replace the OEM tube in my Bugera 5 watt guitar amp. Wow, what a difference, really cleaned up the overall sound and got rid of some tube rattle that was present with the stock tube. Couldn’t be happier.

Added this along with a TungSol 12Ax7 and a Jensen C8R and my Bugera V5 sounds like a totally different amp. Lots and lots of tones. Can’t wait to break it in more and hear it sweeten up.Also, excellent customer support

My little Vox sounds brand new.

I replaced the stock el84in my bugera V5 with this tube and am blown away by the improvement in sound quality. The amp now sings and makes me want to play it all the time. The change I noticed was in the high end, it just seemed to open up and sparkle. I can get amazing cleans and that vintage blues sound that I was craving. I highly recommend this tube.

Put this Gold Lion EL84 in a Marshall Class 5 along with the Gold Lion12AX7 in V1 (Closest to input).The amp sounds much closer to the sound I was hoping for when I bought the amp, really brought the amp to life. Everything is better.

The best EL-84 on the planet!!! Expensive, but well worth the extra cost. The difference in my Marshall Class 5 is ridiculous!! Sounded good before, but now it’s a “MAJOR” in a small box.

I’ve had this tube in my Bugera V5 combo amp for a couple months and am very satisfied. I also replaced the preamp tube with a Genalex 12ax7 and the stock speaker with a Celestion Eight15. The combination of these changes has resulted in a very nice sounding practice amp that I enjoy playing through. I like this EL84 and have purchased two more so I guess that is a pretty good endorsement. I also have a Vox AC4that uses an EL84 power tube and will be replacing it with the Genalex when I do.
