TAD 6L6WGC-STR REDBASE clear top - small bottle - absolute vintage style!

The perfect choice for vintage tweed and blackface amps such as the 1960s Bassman, Twin, Showman, or Super Reverb. The complex midrange and sweet heights are in a class of their own.

 

The TAD 6L6WGC-STR REDBASE is our recommendation for classic tone with warm cleans and rich, sweet mids when pushed. Great for fat jazz or bluestones and our favorite in-all open-back combo amplifiers.

 

The TAD 6L6WGC-STR is a remake of the small bottle GE6L6GC and has the same warm lower midrange and silky top end as the classic GE versions of the 1950s and 60s. Like the historic RCA 5881, this tube features a small bottle enclosure, clear top, and side getter. The TAD 6L6GCM-STR and the TAD 6L6WGC-STR have our exclusive beefed-up cathode coating, gold grid wire, double getter construction, no-noise filaments, and 1.2mm thick heavy-duty glass. This tube is only 84mm high (seated height without pins) and can replace 5881 or 6L6WGB tubes in most applications
