The key to these two valves is that they are balanced. I have put them into a 1963 Selmer Valve Amp - the double. One of the old valves had failed. Dismantling and extracting the failed valve I found that the old valves were of different makes; no match.
The old sound was excellent. The new sound, with matching valves is the same, but smoother - for an even richer blues sound.
This is the way to buy replacements for these old valves. I recommend it. Don't buy an odd one - keep the good one for a spare.
Oh: watch how you put them in - be careful! Note the notch position before you do anything. Above all, don't do it blind!

Over the years I've tried EL34's from Svetlana, Harma, Sovtek and many others and simply put, these Electro Harmonix are my favourites.
The humble valve is surrounded by a lot of mystique and folk lore, most of which has little to do with tone or reliability. In a desperate attempt to get an edge over folks we're often sold custom matching or specially treated valves. The truth is that the great heroes of guitar stardom had none of these things, in fact their valves weren't even matched and their amps weren't biased. This is one of the core reasons why certain valve amps owned by our heroes became legendary (luck had favoured them accidentally with well matched tubes that happened by sheer wild chance to correctly match their amp's bias) but most amps just sounded just average or even poor.
In our attempts to reach the giddy heights of epic tone many of us (myself included) have reac hed out to the grail of esoteric custom matched valves and I have got to tell you... they were largely disapointing.
These Electro Harmonix EL34's however are another story. They are the sweetest sounding, most responsive, most 'real' and alive tubes I've ever played with. And they're the closest matched too, not to mention significantly cheaper than many others! If you're looking for genuine, honest, loud and proud tube tone these will not disappoint.
