Need matched power tubes? Don't worry! Price includes matching in any quantity you need for no extra charge. Need a matched pair? Just order "2" tubes. For a matched quad order "4" tubes. Matched sextets and octets are available as well.


This Sovtek 6L6WXT+ vacuum tube is modeled after the vintage RCA 6L6GC "Black plate". This 6L6 power tube features larger plate dimensions and improved grid structure for increased power handling capabilities. It also features mica spacers with metal springs to eliminate tube rattle and microphonics. Sovtek claims it has 20 percent higher output than their 5881WXT.

From our review of the Sovtek 6L6-WXT+ tube: "Guitar-cable-amplifier. If this describes the rig you use, then this is one of two modern tubes you should consider. This is not a repackaged 5881 tube. Extremely low noise and a lack of microphonics combine with excellent ratings for detail and harmonic content to provide a tube of exceptional quality. These tubes can be used in any application. Plenty of power and great tone. We have tested these tubes with plate voltages ranging from 425 to 500 volts without problem. Biasing can be set from conservative to hot; again, no real problem and great tone will be delivered from most settings."

One of the better 6L6GCs

by

Nice tone, decent headroom, and one of the better values in 6L6GC tubes being made today. Highs are a bit airy, lows are not as spongy as with other tubes. I cannot say the lows are as tight and punchy as with other 6L6GCs, but they are quite good. Mids are warm to bright. All in all this is a good tube for the price. A lot depends on which amp and guitar combination you use whether or not it is for you. This tube also has a low rate of failure compared to others. I have tried all the 6L6GB and GC types being made. This is one of my favorites. Amps used in are: Fender Vibrolux Reverb, Bassman 50, Bassman 10, Twin Reverb, Super Reverb, Vibroverb, Pro Reverb, Champ12, PA135, Bassman Reissue, Blues Deluxe. Also: National Glenwood, Model 80, Supro Thunderbolt Also Mesa Boogie MkII,MkIII, MKIV also Peavey, Mace, Duce, and Classic, also Sano, also (others)
