Members conky Posted March 18, 2013 Members Share Posted March 18, 2013 I use either EH or Sovtek 6L6 in my Soldano and they sound pretty good. The last time I retubed though I put a set of Sovtek 5881 in there and they sound about the same but seem a little beefier in the low end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if they still do or not, but shortly before Aspen sold the company to Fender, he bought out the last GE equipment and started re-issuing them.

Members imbuedblue Posted March 18, 2013 Members Share Posted March 18, 2013 I like the TAD 6L6WGC-STR. They sound pretty close to NOS GE 6L6s to my ears. And, they tend to like a colder bias than most other 6L6-types of tried, which should translate to longer life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
