Vacuum Tubes

General purpose triode designed for service as an oscillator, detector, or amplifier. It is similar in characteristics to the 6C6, 6J7, and 57 with triode connection.

High-vacuum, heater-cathode type of tube designed to indicate visually the effect of change in the controlling voltage. Essentially a voltage indicator and as such is particularly useful to facilitate exact tuning of a radio receiver.

Duodecar type used as horizontal-deflection amplifier in television receivers.

Cathode type twin triode designed for use as a voltage amplifier

Consists of two dynamically coupled triodes and is designed for service in the power output stage of AC and storage battery operated receivers. All necessary biases are supplied internally

Sharp cutoff pentode of the 7 pin miniature type with heater having controlled warm-up time.

Totally Tweed! The preferred OEM tube of '50s-era Fender Tweed Champ and Deluxe amplifiers The Tungsol 6V6 has a geometry designed to safely handle the higher voltages used in guitar amps " plus heavier plate and grid materials. The result.. better mids and bottom while keeping the smooth top of the classic 6V6's. The Tungsol 6V6 breaks up evenly from low E to high up the neck. Blues players will LOVE these tubes for the way they sing!

Premium high-voltage power pentode. An extremely faithful reissue of the XF2 Mullard EL34 from the 1960s.

Superior power beam tetrode, engineered for demanding high fidelity, reliability and overall warmth. Traditional brown base.

Higher in gain than the 5881WXT, with full base. Modelled after the vintage RCA 6L6GC "blackplate," the Sovtek 6L6WXT+ features larger plate dimensions and improved grid structure for increased power handling capabilities.
The 6L6WXT+ also features mica spacers with metal springs to eliminate tube rattle and microphonics. The Sovtek 6L6WXT+ yields a 20% higher output than the Sovtek 5881WXT and offers superior tone and overall performance to any 6L6 or KT66. The ultimate 6L6, the WXT+ will improve the sound of any 6L6 guitar amplifier.

Super Premium power pentode, highest quality in current production. Perfect for Vox AC30, from soft overdrive and organic sustain to great harmonic crunch. Used in many vintage HiFi applications.

• Unique single halo type getter & plate coating
• N709/6BQ5 equivalent

Premium high-voltage power pentode, featuring improved materials and workmanship over the original EL34B. Higher impedance design with increased touch responsiveness.

• Unique clipping characteristic with a hint of 6L6 sound
• Velvety-smooth in HiFi applications, full & rich-sounding in guitar amps
• 6CA7 equivalent

The Sovtek 5881WXT is the same as the 5881 but with a full size base for easy installation in vintage amp designs. The Sovtek 5881 delivers a warm, round tone that "sweetens" any vintage or modern guitar amp design. Built to rigid military standards, the 5881 will tolerate higher voltages than any other 6L6. In fact, they're frequently used as replacements for the old 7027 model in vintage Ampegs. Extremely consistent from piece to piece. The Sovtek 5881 has a heater voltage of 6.3 volts at 0.88 amperes.

Electro-Harmonix 12DW7 dual triode preamp tube. Made in Russia.
12DW7 combines one triode of 12AX7 and one triode of 12AU7 in a dual triode package. System 1 (pins 6, 7, 8) is the high-mu 12AX7 triode and system 2 (pins 1, 2, 3) is the medium-mu 12AU7 triode.

The JJ Electronic EF806S is a high quality reproduction of the classic EF86. This pentode features a robust construction with the internal shielding used in the original tubes. The JJ EF806 can be used in any EF86 circuit including microphones and amplifiers.

Beam power tube with a separate grid - no. 3 base-pin terminal for "snivets" control. The tube is designed for horizontal-deflection-amplifier service in black-and-white TV receivers.

Superior power beam tetrode, engineered for demanding high fidelity, reliability and overall warmth. Traditional brown base.

Tung Sol 6L6GC “STR” beam-power tetrode tube. Made in Russia. The Tung-Sol legacy continues with the introduction of the new 6L6GC STR. The ultimate in musical tone and smooth overdrive, the STR delivers the sound that established Tung-Sol as the benchmark of quality. Built to the same “Special Tube Request” specs of leading amplifier manufacturers of the 1960s, the 6L6GC STR is a rugged and reliable power tube for use in the most demanding guitar amplifier circuits.

Tung Sol 5751 dual triode preamp tube. Made in Russia. NOS specs call the 5751 a “special 12AX7” having a high-mu amplification factor of 70.

The Classic Sound of the 1950s and 60s - Excellent Tone, Maximum Lifetime! The TAD 6L6WGC-STR Redbase is the perfect choice for vintage tweed and blackface amps such as the 1960s Bassman, Twin, Showman or Super Reverb. The complex midrange and sweet heights are a class of its own. The TAD 6L6WGC-STR Redbase is recommended for classic tone with warm cleans and rich, sweet mids when pushed. Great for fat jazz or blues tones and our favorite in all open back combo amplifiers. The TAD 6L6WGC-STR is a remake of the small bottle clear-top GE6L6GC and has the same warm lower midrange and silky top end as the classic GE versions of the 1950s and 60s. Like the historic RCA 5881, this tube features a small bottle enclosure, clear top and side getter. The TAD 6L6GCM-STR and the TAD 6L6WGC-STR have our exclusive beefed up cathode coating, gold grid wire, double getter construction, no-noise filaments and 1.2mm thick heavy duty glass.

The TAD EL34-STR REDBASE™ is a glass envelope pentode with a plate dissipation rating of 25 Watts with convection cooling. It is intended for audio frequency power amplification service in either pentode, ultralinear or triode connection and single ended or push-pull/parallel applications.
The TAD EL34-STR REDBASE™ is designed to be a direct replacement for any EL34 / 6CA7 / KT77 or equivalent. Close manufacturing specification tolerances, gold wire grid, improved processing and final testing and QC at TAD in Germany provides enhanced reliability, superior sonic performance and grants overall consistency.
