Choosing to have your purchased guitar Plek’d will delay the shipping. One of the team will be in contact with a rough ETA but we will endeavour to have your new guitar with you as quickly as possible. Current lead time is 2-3 weeks from the date of purchase.

If you choose to return the guitar after it’s had a Plek setup you will still be liable for the cost of the plek setup except for in cases where we’ve offered it as part of a promotion or offer.

Description

This is TAD's latest 6L6GC - designed and built to be the best 6L6 type tube ever manufactured. A very high claim, but they are sure that they have achieved exactly that.

In terms of sound, it produces the powerful but always defined bass response known from the legendary American built NOS RCA 6L6GC, with clear, unobtrusive and yet transparent highs. In every setting, it responds directly and with noticeable dynamics, from buttery soft and warm to powerful and brutal without losing any details or depth.

This makes it an effective upgrade for every amplifier using 6L6GC or 5881 tubes; it also replaces any EL37, CV586, VT115A, 6L6GA, 6L6GB, 6L6WGB, 6L6WGC, STR-440, STR-454, 6p3p, 6p3s, 6p3s-e etc.

It combines the structural advantages of the robust American Philips/Sylvania 6L6GC, also known as MESA 6L6GC-STR415, and the sound quality of the legendary RCA 6L6GC tubes.

Silky highs, defined, deep bass and lots of headroom means it works for lively clean sounds as well as a powerful broadband power amplifier for multi-channel amps.

This valve is part of TAD's Redbase series, which combines the latest manufacturing technologies with traditional design and flawless quality. The TAD Redbase series is exclusively built on a TAD production line that has been optimised especially for the TAD Redbase series. At TAD in Germany, the tubes of the STR series receive a special, additional burn-in treatment and formatting process in preparation for the TAD Premium-Matching, which optimises the quality of the cathode emission and opens up an exceptionally detailed sound structure.

Another advantage of this valve is that it is part of TAD's Premium Selected series. All power tubes labelled as such have passed the following tests:
