The TAD 6V6GT-STR is a heavy duty 6V6GT tube, that handles higher plate current. Works great in tweed 5E3 Deluxe and Deluxe Reverb Amps. Even when pushed to saturation there are no harsh upper mids as often experienced with other 6V6 makes. The TAD 6V6GT-STR remains detailed with power ful tone and singing sustain as you´d only expect from the finest NOS 6V6GT from the 1950s and 60s. Sweet full-bodied tone with silky heights.
