From our review of this EL34 tube: "JJ has upped their game with the new EL34-2, and the design change is truly big enough to warrant the use of the new name. I found there to be a really nice top end that is smooth and free from harshness, while still delivering a nice bit of sparkle. At the other end of the spectrum I found the bass to be very firm and clear with no boominess. For guitar use the midrange is where the action is and this tube handles it nicely. I didn’t hear any honking mids."

JJ EL34-II | Warmed up an Egnater Tweaker-15 Head
by Chaz Eton
Great tubes! That's the short story.
Long story/personal application: I have an Egnater Tweaker-15 head, great little amp. I'm running it through a JSX- 4x12 (bought used). For one reason or another, the 6v6 stock tubes were just too bright for my ears and I couldn't dial the brightness out.
After much research, I landed on these JJ-EL34-II tubes. MUCH improved sound over the stock 6v6s to my ears, and much warmer and better crunch. The EL34-IIs barely fit in the head-case, but they WILL fit.
I run the Egnater on the Vintage British channel, hot, normal/tight.
JJ EL34-II | Closet to NOS you can buy
by Ricky
My go to tubes for my Blackstar HT Club 50 MKII. I recently gave JJ another try and I am so happy I did! All the new production Russian offerings just did not do it for me. Seems like all just rebranded Sovteks. I'll stick with what JJ has to offer for all my tube amps! Get yourself a good balanced set of these JJ-EL34-II and you won't be disappointed!
JJ EL34-II | MK-301 MK II headphone amp with Focal Elear Headphones.
by GenpattonJames
The MK II JJ’s were supposed to be an improvement over traditional EL34, and they tend to live up to the hype. Lows are good. You hear the bottom end and it’s not boomy. It’s there and will spring forth if called for. Mids are excellent, amazing actually. I switched from another brand EL34 and was astonished at the depth and naturalness of Seals, Kiss from a rose. The best tube for vocals. It was the only tube I wanted to compare against my iFi Pro iCAN in solid state mode. I consider this headphone amplifier my end of the line high end. Well I’ll be damned. The iCAN definitely had more dynamics. However, the voice on the JJ-EL34-II is a winner in vocals. HANDS DOWN. Highs are fine, they compliment the overall sound of the tube. The highs are certainly not dull, they are there and if the song calls for clear cymbals the JJ will accomplish that. There just not as prominent as some of my other tubes, however the depth and openness of the upper octaves makes the music image like no other tube.
JJ EL34-II | Great Tubes!
by Kyle
Recently had my Amp guy who gets his tubes from the tube store put a set of these JJ-EL34-II in my JTM50 Style amp. Originally had the regular JJ EL34s in the amp and only for a few months at that so they were still pretty fresh but he raved about the 2s so wanted to give them a try as wasn't quite fully happy with my sound yet. Well these tubes rock! They tightened up the amp, made it not sound as flat and the bass not a flubby and have better attack with the guitar. So personally I now prefer the II or the regular JJ.
Awesome tubes for the money!
by Geoff Gordon
These sound almost as good as my stash of nos tubes from the 70s! For the money, these are excellent replacements for vintage 60s and 70s Marshall amps! How long they live is yet to be determined but they sound really really good and are inexpensive so...
