The CV40 version EL84 is identical to the original CV40, both for the layout of the amplification section and the presentation.
It differs by the power tubes used (double push-pull of EL84 instead of a push-pull of EL34) and by the mode of polarization of the power stage.
In this new version, the high-voltage power supplies are regulated, which makes it possible to fully exploit the characteristics of the EL84 and to obtain a power of 40W.
This amplifier is notable for the tonal balance brought by the use of the EL84.
It benefits from even more impressive dynamics due to the very low output impedance achieved by the parallelization of the EL84.
In addition, the maintenance of the CV40-el84 amplifier is greatly simplified thanks to the automatic polarization mode of the EL84.
