That's weird, I had kept reading how the JJ 6V6S was supposed to be rugged and able to deal with high B+ values. I bought a pair for my new 6V6 amp. See how long they last...

I plugged one into my Vibro Champ without doing any fiddling with the bias just to hear what it sounded like compared to an old Sylvania 6V6GT. The JJ didn't sound very good at all with the amp cranked but maybe it could have been dialed in with some different biasing.

I'm looking forward to trying a different set in my new amp to see if I notice a big difference.
