What's your favorite 6L6 for headroom and fender cleans?
I'm getting a 4x10" amp soon I hope to fix up, and I'm looking to get some new tubes for it.
I'd like to get some good 6L6s. I had TAD 6L6GC-STR in it before, and it did wonders for it, but I'm just curious if you guys have any other 6L6s that you love.

I have been using the matched Groove Tubes in my Vibroverb.They are rated with a color code on the box for early, normal, or late distortion.I use the white / normals and they work just right.Plenty of clean headroom.I just bought some SED winged C's but haven't tried them yet.I put Svetlanas in the Bassman. They seem to be good tubes as well.

NOS tubes... Not cheap, but they're a prudent investment. I have RCA Black Plates in my Fender. I like Mullard preamp tubes, and the Telefunkens are good as well...Neiloler wrote:...And what tubes do you like in that amp?

In that case, I quite like these...Neiloler wrote:I think I'll stick with current production tubes, though honestly some day I should really look into finding some good NOS tubes I could really sink my amps into.

RCA are my favorites for nos. They also made tubes for FoMoCo, Magnavox, Delco, Silvertone, and many others that are RCA's, only rebranded. The I didn't like the JJ 6l6's, and the Sovtek 5881's were just ok. I'm running 2 nos Sylvania's right now. If you go with the WC, or any newproduction tube, the best money that you can spend would be for nos RCA, Amperex, or Mullard Phase inverter and preamp tubes. IMHO BTW I've been swapping out the rectifier tube with a box full of NOS's that I picked up.. Makes a pretty big difference...
