Genalex - Gold Lion EL84/N709 Power Vacuum Tube (Matched)
Need matched power tubes? Don't worry! Price includes matching in any quantity you need for no extra charge. Need a matched pair? Just order "2" tubes. For a matched quad order "4" tubes. Matched sextets and octets are available as well.After extensive research and engineering, New Sensor Corp. has reissued the famed Genalex Gold Lion EL84 vacuum tube. This power tube has been recreated down to the finest detail for exceptional performance and sound quality.
From our review of this EL84 tube: Clean tones are chimey and sparkling with single coil pickups and a bit darker with humbuckers. The overdrive on these tubes is smoooth. No gritty, raspy tones, the tubes have just the right amount of compression to track with the overdrive and keep it beautifully controlled while blooming nicely as the note fades out. This produces a very nice organic sustain.
Note: These tubes have a slightly larger diameter than other EL84 tubes so they can not be installed into some '90's era Marshall DSL201 or DSL401 amplifiers, some '90's era reissue Vox AC15 amps, and Bad Cat amps.

Genalex - Gold Lion EL84/N709 | Top notch EL84's
by Peter Wareheim
These GL-EL84 Genalex are probably my favourite of all the EL84 tubes I've tried. In my guitar amp (cathode bias Orange), they have a very balanced sound, top to bottom, there isn't too much or too little of anything. Tons of clarity without being strident or harsh. And what might be my favourite thing about them; I get gobs of sustain, notes high on the fretboard sing and seemingly last forever.
