Title: New power valves in my OTS50 Post by: René F on January 22, 2009, 02:13:05 PM I have replaced the stock Tungsol 6L6 tubes with two matched Tube Amp Doctor 6L6WGC - STR...
Wow what a difference :) the amp now sounds way bigger than before, and is more detailed in both bass, middle and treble frequencies. A lot more head room than the tungsols and also more power... These valves is definetly worth a try :) just my 2 cents ;) Title: Re: New power valves in my OTS50 Post by: hywelg on January 22, 2009, 04:00:14 PM I have heard the same report from elsewhere in relation to Two Rock amps.

10 000 hours and high voltage capability, lovely sounding tubes. (http://www.guitarampcab.com/6L6M.JPG) He also added 20 NOS Telefunken and 30 Tungsram ECC83s for $35 I guess I was lucky ;D.

The box alone is worth it :-) Title: Re: New power valves in my OTS50 Post by: JohnE on January 23, 2009, 03:42:02 PM I have replaced the stock Tungsol 6L6 tubes with two matched Tube Amp Doctor 6L6WGC - STR... Thanks for the info. I mentioned these in another post. I recently put Tungsol 5881 in my OTS with positive results and, based on previous experience, I thought the TAD 6L6WGC STR might provide the same advantages of the 5881 but with greater musicality. It sounds as though you have confirmed that. Wow what a difference :) the amp now sounds way bigger than before, and is more detailed in both bass, middle and treble frequencies. A lot more head room than the tungsols and also more power... These valves is definetly worth a try :) just my 2 cents ;) |
