6V6
The 6V6 is a low-output power tube (12-18 watts) often used in Fender® amplifiers, including the Champ®,
Deluxe™, Dual Professional, Vibro-King®, Princeton®, Vibrolux® and others. It has a very warm, round and soft
response with rich harmonics, and distorts easily. One of the best choices ever produced for rehearsal and
recording amplifiers. Available as singles, pairs and quartets; stocked in “medium” power ratings. Also
available by special order with “low” and “high” power ratings (please contact customer service for these).
Classic design and the most affordable choice in the GT 6V6 line. Warm overdrive and soft distortion character.
Matched pair of 6V6 tubes in “Medium” power range
Groove Tubes power tubes are matched and rated in low, medium and high output levels.
Most amp manufacturers bias their amps for tubes in the “medium” range, and replacement of stock tubes frequently do not require re-biasing if “mediums” are purchased.
- For softer feel, quicker distortion and creamier tone, we suggest “lows”
- For more dynamic headroom and tighter, quicker and harder overall response, we suggest “highs”.
Lows and highs are more likely to require re-biasing by a qualified service technician to meet your
performance preferences.
For amp service techs or those wishing to customize amplifiers to achieve specialized tone, “high” (8-10) and
“low” (1-3) tube sets are available. In most cases, these may bequire amp re-biasing by a qualified service
technician. Please contact customer service to purchase matched sets with ratings other than “medium.”
- “low” (1-3) - Early distortion, wide range, softer attack good for Rock and Blues solos
- “medium ” (4-7) - Normal performance, great dynamic range/attack and best all around rating type for all styles of playing
“high” (8-10) - Most dynamic range, most clean power/less break-up for power players, Jazz and bass amps.
