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.


Totally Tweed! The preferred OEM tube of ’50s-era Fender Tweed Champ and Deluxe amplifiers. The Tungsol 6V6 vacuum tube has a geometry designed to safely handle the higher voltages used in guitar amps ­ plus heavier plate and grid materials.

From our review of the Tung-Sol 6V6GT: "The Tung-Sol 6V6-GT is an outstanding tube and I feel it delivers a much smoother overdrive that you could describe as creamy instead of crunchy. The sound is better defined than the Electro Harmonix with less compression than EH or JJ."

My favourite 6V6!

by

I love this tube! I've been running a quad of these in my Rivera Venus 6 and a pair of them in my Allen Accomplice for over a year. I prefer these to most NOS tubes in both of these amps. The Venus is "class A" so it drives these tubes pretty hard, and so far they've taken a hell of a beating.

And they sound great! They sound at least as good as NOS, but at 1/10th the price; you can afford to keep backups of these! Rich, clean, bright, sparkly - it's all in there!

Not what I was looking for?

by

I am a slide player and I like the tubes that really add some sizzle and these just didn't evoke the harmonics that compliment the slide. The JJ 6V6S tubes sounded better but still not exactly what I'm looking for either.

Vintage Chime

by

I replaced the tubes in my Fender Super Champ X2 head with a matched pair of these and a Preferred Series 7025 / 12AX7. I'm using a Epiphone Valve Jr. Cab with a Eminence Red White & Blues speaker. I also biased my amp, only do this if you know what you're doing, lethal voltages involved could cause death. This now gives me the perfect vintage fender champ / reverb tone. It's got the full bottom with the top end chime and a sturdy mid range. It now gets that nice top end break up without the ice pick, and endless harmonics without any noise. After a good break in... I love new tube smell ... everything evened out and is sonically rich and sound with great blossom and sustain. Great combo on tubes for this set up and excellent information on this here site. The info really helped me inform my decision on my desired tone. Rock on ya'll.

Snap Crackle Pop 6V6

by

Just tried to swap out the stock 12AX7 and 6V6GT in my new Fender Champ 600 with Tung Sol replacements. Sounded fine at first...but it only lasted 15 mins until the amp went 'snap crackle pop' and the Tung Sol 6V6 crapped out. Hmmmmm

Smooth as silk

by

This should tell you how GREAT these sound - I had bought a matched set for my 76 Fender Deluxe Reverb about 10-11 months ago. Then last week one of the tube failed- burning a screen grid resistor and two 100k resistors at the pilot lamp. Tho with my level of expertise, I probably shouldn't throw full blame on the tube. Those resistors are going on 40 years old.. ANYWAY, point being, despite the last one's fairly short life span, I am ordering a replacement set of the exact same thing because THE TONE IS LUSCIOUS!!!!
