I recently swapped out the Tung Sol's in my VHT for JJs and the amp sounded darker with more bass and it took away some from the character of the amp. With the Tung Sol's it felt like you weren't playing with an over-abundance of gain but you could hit a pinch harmonic and it would come flying out of the amp, very unexpectedly. That cool quirk is gone with the JJs.
So I'd say the JJs have less presence, and I concur with that Lazy Bastard, Toshiro.
