What Is The Difference Between EL84 / EL34 and 6L6 Power Tubes?

Once you start to push a little air, your amp will show off what it can do and the power tubes will display their individual characteristics more. Keep in mind, by using pedals, you can make pretty much any amp sound like any other amp, so this discussion is focused on how a few of the most popular power tubes differ from each other when using the amp to get your sound and not pedals.
