Members Olsvik Posted December 22, 2006 Members Share Posted December 22, 2006 Ecc83s are equal to 12ax7s I believe. I can't remember what 5881s are equal to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ZachOmega Posted December 22, 2006 Members Share Posted December 22, 2006 The 5881 is equivalent to a 6l6gb. A 6l6gc is probably a better choice though. the ecc83 is a 12ax7 as noted or a 7025. -Zach Omega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members L6Sguy Posted December 22, 2006 Members Share Posted December 22, 2006 5881 = 6L6good source of lotsa general tube info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members butterknucket Posted December 22, 2006 Members Share Posted December 22, 2006 At one time 5881's were a military variant of 6L6's, and were generally a 6L6 in a shorter bottle. This is meaningless today as 5881's being made today are just 6L6's, and not true 5881's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
