Vox stile amp & Hammond 1760J OT - what do you think ??

Post by Kagliostro »

I got an old 1970 italian amp (GEM Super Reverb 50R)

the amp has 4 x el84 final tubes + reverb & vibrato

there is a High B+ and SS rectify (with big sag resistors before rectify)

the OT is broken and I must go for a new one

as to save some money I've think for the Hammond 1760J Upgrade (designed for Fender) (4000ohm - 4/8/16ohm - 35W)

instead of the 1750V (designed for Vox) (4000ohm - 8/16ohm - 30W)

the price of the 1760J Upgrade is near € 50.00

the price of the 1750V is near € 80.00

What do you think about the use of the 1760J instead of the 1750V (also in terms of tone) ??

Thanks
