JJ Blue Bottle Tubes questions

[AMP-BLACKOUT]

Has anyone tried the BLUE BOTTLE JJ E34L ?

I was thinking that in my tremoverb combo to head conversion that it might be cool to have some sort of translucent or transparent face-plate... to get that cool blue glow through...

I have done other head conversions, transplants etc. in the past where the client wanted the "GLOW" to be the color of the channel they selected using LEDs which turned out pretty cool...wish i had taken pics to post... so i know overall that the glow effect does look cool.....

I have used JJ 6L6GC's and JJ EL34's in the past on my laney amps and really wasn't overly excited about the mushy bottom end, but from what i understand the E34L is a completely different tube, structure etc. So, do any of you guys have any experience with the JJ E34L or the Groove Tubes "E34Ls" which is apparently the same tube with 15% extra headroom and other stuff etc etc...

i'd appreciate whatever info anyone has to offer....

I bought them years ago when Bob first started selling them. They are too dark on their own so if you want to show the Blue or Red glass you have to illuminate them somehow.

Great, thanx, very good info to know... so i guess i'll still have to use LEDs..
