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

The new TAD EL34-STR REDBASE developed completely from scratch! Yet, the results are phenomenal.

In the tradition of the legendary Telefunken EL34, it provides a gorgeous, dynamic and amazingly open in-your-face tone with just the right amount of aggressiveness. Expect a clear, harmonic and open top end, a lovely spot-on midrange, with vocal low-mids and a great bass response, as you would expect it from a TAD EL34.

Extra rugged glass envelope, golden control grid wire, two especially large cooling grids and special high-precision construction with the smallest tolerances guarantee maximum stability and reliability.

This valve differs from other EL34 tubes in particular by the extreme quality control in the production and the special formatting of the tubes by TAD in Germany before the actual matching.

It can be used for any EL-34 and also instead of 6CA7 and KT77 making it ideal not just for guitar amplifiers but for hi-fi equipment as well.

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:
