FACT: You need to know if your amps power tubes are plate-matched (which this Amplitrex Digital Tested Pair is) because if they are mis-matched, your preamp tubes (like 5AR4,12AX7, 12au7, etc..) will be overly worked which will greatly shorten their life-span because they are forced to work-harder than they normally would. ..."These are Awesome!

"... So anyways, has anybody tried 6V6 in a Lonestar? or LSS...?"
"...My LSC has done a lot of time with both 4x6V6 and 2x6V6 + 2xEL84 (using Yellow Jackets). The amp sounds absolutely great with both setups. Chimey, sweet and clear; lotsa fun.
The manual says to run the amp on the Tweed power setting while using 6V6s, but most modern 6V6s can handle the voltage decently; so running on full AC, if you need the extra oomph, is usually okay. Recommended...."
These NOS 1959 6V6GT's are the little brother to the 6L6 and is all about classic American tube tone from yesteryear - Extremely sweet and bubbly with a beautifully deep bass and spacious shimmering highs, this tube defines vintage "Deluxe" styled tone and is a great substitute in the Mark I, Mark IV & Lone Star when used with their "Tweed" Switch feature - Please see the amplifier owner's manual for correct use of this tube NOS Museum Quality

The black base CHS-JAN was used to indicate a tube manufactured FOR the military. These were heavy-duty mil-spec tubes The plates and filaments on a black-base JAN tube will normally be larger and heavier than on comparable tubes made for the consumer market. It's a difference you can usually see if you look closely. Since they were all built to the same specs there shouldn't be much difference between black-base tubes made by one source or another. The higher quality of the black-base black-plate tubes is unlikely to make a difference you can hear, but it should make a big difference in how long it lasts as the larger plates dissipate more heat.
ACTUAL TEST RESULTS TESTED IN THE "FIXED BIAS MODE" WHICH IS MOST SIMILIAR TO THE OLDER TESTERS LIKE HICKOK & TRIPLETT

Whatever tone your gear produces, the mil-spec 6V6s give you more of it because they are better-built tubes; presence, sound-stage, depth. The strongest contrast is between modern 6V6s and mil-spec or '50s commerical 6V6s. To my ear, current make 6V6s including the very popular JJs are designed and built to sound more like 6L6s; a brighter, cleaner, less distorted / more articulate sound than the vintage versions. By contrast, mil-spec 6V6s are darker, more compressed, woodier, but I think this is also true of most NOS/vintage commerical 6V6s. The difference is that the mil-specs, because they are better-built, do the vintage thing better than commerical-grade 6V6s. All Plate Matched Pairs test above 100% and identicle to pictures
