Shuguang KT66 Power Vacuum Tube (Matched)
Note: Limited stock available. We have electrically matched sets in stock. Pairs may vary slightly cosmetically because some tubes have logos printed on their bottles and others are blank. Rest assured all are true Shuguang made vacuum tubes.
The Chinese (Sino) Shuguang KT66 power tube is true to the original British made tubes from decades past. They sound wonderful in vintage hifi and guitar amplifiers. Today you'll commonly find them used in the Marshall reissue JTM 45 amoung other amps. We find these tubes need to be biased hot to sound their best. You can learn more about them in our KT66 tube review.
It is acceptable to use in many 6L6 tube amps, but not all.

IMO The best (currently made) KT66 tubes on the market
by Jake Stack
I usually don't give reviews, but these tubes sound so much better than other makes I feel they need more endorsement. I build amplifiers for many people in the rock and blues business and ship amps all over the world. The KT66 is one of the best output tubes for Marshall style guitar amplifiers and the Shuguang KT66 is IMO one of the best currently made tubes on the market. Both in terms of sound and reliability. They are notably better sounding - you can't go wrong with these tubes...
Kindest Regards
Marshall Bluesbreaker RI use.
by R.M.
Just retubed my mid-90's Marshall Bluesbreaker with the standard Shuguang KT-66's for the second time. They do fit (just) in the old, shallower cabinet. They sound great too - and I've had a set of genuine British Genalex KT-66's in the amp once.
Love 'em!
by Matt B
I had my tech change my Superlead from EL34's to KT66's and I bought a quad of these. My amp sounds wayyyyy better now and I don't know any reason to go back, unless these fail spectacularly!
BUY THEM!!!
