Telefunken Valve 6L6GC-TK Vacuum Tube (Matched Pair)

The TELEFUNKEN 6L6GC-TK has tight and defined lows, transparent mids and a shimmering high end. When installed into your amplifier, these octal power tubes offer a focused bite with well-defined articulation.

The 6L6 was developed by RCA in 1936 as the first power tetrode, an alternative to the high output pentode designs already under patent by Philips. The modern version, the 6L6GC, dominates the guitar amplifier market no different than the earlier versions that have been found in Fender amplifiers since the 1940’s.

The 6L6 is most associated with American sounding amplifiers. In comparison to the EL34 and EL84, the 6L6 tends to not break up as quickly. With it’s top-end sparkle and clean headroom, their is a reason the 6L6 has had one of the longest active lifetimes of any electronic component.

About Telefunken Black Diamond Series Vacuum Tubes

Telefunken vacuum tubes have been the benchmark of excellence in all audio applications, both productions and reproduction, for many decades. Today, this rich history continues with the introduction of new production tubes from Telefunken Elektroakustik, in partnership with JJ tubes from the Carpathian mountains of Cadca in Slovakia.

Each tube is meticulously measured for all critical parameters of performance including transconductance, gain, noise, and microphonics. All Telefunken branded tubes are hand picked to be the best examples of Eastern European construction in the proud tradition with which the name Telefunken Elektroakustik has become synonymous.

In addition to the rigorous testing procedure, all new production Telefunken tubes are cryogenically treated to ensure durability, and subjected to an extended burn-in period to ensure superior stability. The tubes are re-measured subsequent to burn-in, and again before final packaging, in order to guarantee that only the best, lowest noise tubes are offered.
