The classic sound of the 1950s and 60s - excellent tone, maximum longevity!
TAD 6L6WGC-STR REDBASE clear top - small bottle - absolute vintage style!
Juicy mids, tight bass and airy - easy to listen to top.
The perfect choice for vintage tweed and blackface amps such as the 1960s Bassman, Twin, Showman or Super Reverb. The complex mids and sweet highs are in a class of their own. The TAD 6L6WGC-STR REDBASE is our recommendation for a classic tone with warm cleans and rich, sweet mids when pushed. Great for fat jazz or blues tones and our favorite option for all open back combinations.
The TAD 6L6WGC-STR is a remake of the small bottle GE 6L6GC and features the same warm lower midrange and silky smooth top as the classic GE versions from the 1950s and 60s. Like the historic RCA 5881, this tube has a small bottle surround, clear top and side getter. The TAD 6L6GCM-STR and TAD 6L6WGC-STR feature our exclusive reinforced cathode coating, gold grid wire, double getter construction, noise-free filaments and 1.2 mm thick heavy duty glass. This tube is kun 84 mm high (without pins) and can replace 5881 or 6L6WGB tubes in most applications.
