Eh...
I loved my old Trem-O-Verb with EL34's. That's THE Soundgarden sound to me (Superunknown).
TO ME it gave the amp a Bogner-ish feel.

Devin Townsend used el-34 rectors for years. His stuff sounds awesome.

In that video above, Ola clearly liked the 34s.
I could go with either, probably prefer the 34s for most stiff but 6L6s are so much more relaible

In Ola's video, the 6L6's sound better. Way more signature "Recto" sounding, big fat gain. With 6L6's I can see more of the appeal for a Badlander type amp.
However it still doesn't sway me from wanting a Multi Watt Dual Recto. Especially because boost pedals already exist and most guitar players with the money to buy a Recto will probably already have their perfect boost pedal picked out and on their board to tighten a regular Recto however they like instead of the specific way Mesa has tightened the Badlander.

It sounded better with 34s. I play guitar. I like mids. If you don’t like mids, go play bass.

You heard it here first folks. If you don't play guitar through a half-cocked wah straight into a megaphone, then through an AM radio, you HATE MIDS and therefore you hate electric guitar in general, BROTHER.
Makes me wonder why the government hasn't just outlawed all guitar amps except for one government-issued Mesa Mark style amp with the EQ locked in an upside down V shape because there's obviously only one single way music should sound when played by an electric guitar.

I love Marshalls and Mesas....I liked my Rectos best with 6L6. And a mid flavored boost of course...34s sounded cool too but 6L6 just sound right to me.

I preferred EL34s and especially KT77s in my three channel dual.

A dual rec with 6l6s has plenty mids.
Guarantee, you won't have the mid knob cranked.
EL34s take away from punch and clarity, at least in the Rectos I've owned.
Not sure about this Badlander. Will have to play it and see.

What is the difference between 6CA7s and EL34s? Honest question.
I have a Plexi clone loaded with 6CA7s, and have plenty of EL34s on hand.
I suppose I could find out for myself.
But is it worth it? Are they that different?

Oh cool, so when people call you out on your internet tough guy routine, you gaslight them to make it seem like *they’re* the jerk.
I bet you’d make a great partner in a relationship.

For two 16 Ohm cabs: Palmer makes these -> https://www.thomann.de/gb/palmer_cab_m_merger.htm . Needs one speaker cable more of course than if it was built in, but not the end of the world. If you only have one 16 Ohm cab then it still sucks there is no single 16 Ohm out though.
