The EL84 is clearly a winner here, it's louder, punchier, brighter and clearer whilst the 6V6 output seems too low in comparison and more importantly the 6V6 sounds very muddied with very little clarity

@KissMeImPunk you've got bad hearing!

Thanks, some useful comparisons. It shows the EL84 as being more strident, a more in-your-face kind of attack, and the 6V6 being slightly softer and chimier. Pretty much what MelissaArmpit said below.

@that1stupidkid613 That Renegade is a hell of an amp huh. I owned one last year, and really enjoyed it but ended up getting into Bogner and H&K stuff. Set myself on H&K after going crazy with what I wanted to stick to.

6V6 seems to have less mids, making it sound a bit quieter. EL84 is a bit greasy and gainy.

The 6l6 def has more headroom. i personally love both, which is why egnater amps rule.

The only difference I can really hear in this vid is that the 6V6 isn't being driven quite as hard as the EL84, so is a bit quieter and a bit cleaner... but that may just be because this is a 240p quality video...
The amp I'm building can switch between EL84, 6V6, EL34, 6L6... you just have to rebias with a knob and swap out 3 resistors each time LOL. (I'll eventually chose the one I prefer and keep that one, it's not really a feature)

EL84 is much louder haha

6V6 sounds like it's got a little more punch to it
