The Tube Amp Doctor 6L6GCM-STR REDBASE is designed and built to claim to be the best 6L6 type tube ever manufactured. Heavily influenced by the structural design of the vintage Philips / Sylvania 6L6GC, with tone comparable to the legendary US RCA 6L6GC
This tube offers a lot of headroom, with powerful but fully defined bass response, and clear, transparent silky highs. In every setting, the TAD 6L6GCM-STR REDBASE responds directly and with noticeable dynamics, from buttery soft and warm to powerful and brutal without losing any details or depth.
This makes the TAD 6L6GCM-STR an effective upgrade for every amplifier using 6L6GC or 5881 tubes; also repalces any EL37, CV586, VT115A, 6L6GA, 6L6GB, 6L6WGB, 6L6WGC, STR-440, STR-454, 6p3p, 6p3s, 6p3s-e etc.
This tube is also known as the Mesa 6L6GC-STR415 STR
