The vintage instruments and sound systems of the late 1950s ushered in a new way to enjoy music. Amplifier systems ushered in an era of loud musical performances as we know them today. Without the small, glass-encased devices known as tubes to amplify tones, it's possible that rock and roll would never have become the music of generations. The GE 6L6GC vintage tube and tube socket are designed to deliver a rich audio sound for General Electric products. This includes amplifiers, mono hit radios, harps, guitars, bass, and stereos dating back to the period of 1955 to 1963. Whether you wail like Buddy Holly or tone it down with mellow rhythm and blues, these GE 6L6GC vintage tubes and tube sockets provide your music with authentic tones. Made exclusively for GE-branded products, these vacuum tubes deliver a powerhouse of tone. The 6L6 design was the original glass device used by Fender in the 1950s and 1960s. The original 6L6 type is noted for its clarity and power without sacrificing a rich, smooth experience. The types of reverb and resonance the tubes provide are authentic to the era in which they were made. New old stock vacuum tubes and sockets bring out your Fender amplifier's desirable qualities. GE 6l6GC tubes also bring out great sound from any GE amp, guitar, bass, or other electrified instrument in use during that era. These 6L6GC tubes improve the quality of your amp or instrument's delivery. Making this improvement is easy because setup is simple. The instructions included with the GE 6L6GC vintage tube and tube socket set simplify the process of installation. They help you ensure that all the pins line up correctly with minimal troubleshooting necessary once the tube and socket are in place. These vintage tube and sockets feature gray plates and black bases. They have a classic dot pattern, and GE is etched in the bottle-shaped glass. The tube's gray plate sets it apart from other models. Gray-plated devices excel when it comes to amplifying timbre and note tone. Their overall delivery of sound staging is highly notable. Different amps require different plate voltages, and a 6L6 matching pair is usually within five percent of plate current draw. Being original to the era, these tubes match your amp if the bias is properly adjusted. The tubes are designed for high-fidelity equipment with plate ratings of 500 volts at 30 watts. As a version of the 6L6 series, these tubes are often used to replace other versions when stock is limited. Sold in matched pairs and quads, the tubes and tube sockets remain in their initial packaging. Collectors find that this increases the item's authenticity. Even if you aren't an avid collector, the vintage tone that the 6L6GC creates is unmistakable.
