Do power tubes matter?

I don’t know what happened with him but I always liked Jon. For whatever reason he was like fuck this place and delete my shit now. Historically we are rough on YouTubers but I don’t ever recall anyone giving him a hard time. Ohhh well…
He comes across like a genuine good guy that loves all things guitar/amp related. Great content too.

Yeah it was weird.

I sometimes enjoy his content but most anything he dials in is gonna sound the same. Lately he's been using real speakers as opposed to IR's and that helped, at least to me it did. But again, hard to determine anything on video especially when it's produced as he does. I mean he gets good guitar tones but really if you closed your eye's, it's all the same basic tone. That's fine though, it's the tone he likes to dial in.

Agreed. You can say that about a lot of geartubers though. I don't know if that says they naturally dial in the sound they like regardless of the gear or that differences in the amps are just that subtle.

Maybe; and the more likely reason, is once the tone gets processed and squashed by youtube many of the differenced that set amps apart are lost.
 
It’s not really a fair comparison as you only have one output transformer and one of the pairs are going to be mismatched and cause an undesirable tone. The only way to compare them is with changing output transformers as well in order to only have the tube be the dependent variable.
Yes race fans.. 6L6 and EL34s use different OT's..
 
It's a small difference, but one that adds up, just like everything else in your signal chain.
