Tung-Sol 6L6GC "STR" Platinum Matched Duet Power Tubes Reviews

Swamped into a music man RD 112.
Sounds great!

I just put these in my PRS MT15 and they sound amazing

Stuck these in a Peavey VTM60 as replacements for the original tubes. Great replacement tubes, biased easily, and now ready to rock!

Bought a Hotrod Deville IV with GT's. Tubes had a terrible rattle, bought the TS matched pair and the amp really took off. Very pleased.

These tubes were supposed to be my backup pair in my 5150 Iconic. I went through the process of getting everything setup properly to check out them out so I would have an idea of how they would sound and to my surprise they were much better than the stock pair so they became the primary pair.

Patrick Lantz my sales engineer is always always spot on. And Sweetwater rocks!

Thanks for the help on my Boogie.

Good tubes, good price, brought my amp back to life. Thanks to Sweetwater and thanks to Andy for his help.

I bought 4 of these to replace the older power tubes in my Mesa Boogie Mark V 90 watt. my amp has come back to life! Sweetwater provided great communication and super fast shipping.

This was my first ever order with sweetwater. Generally like buying in person. My friend who was a professional sound engineer who worked with Sting and Joan Jett, highly recommended sweetwater.com. My order came on time, packed well, and the flyer about your company and service was impressive. Quite a well run place. You've got a new customer for life now!

My Fender hotrod Blues Deville really cleaned up and the power is doubled... because I now have two new power tubes versus one original working tube and one that was broken but hard to see behind the backing plate. The trouble now is the amp is so loud I don't know where I'll be able to play it... My last gig was outdoors and the clean was plenty loud enough on one and a half... the distortion side was so loud it was un-useable... even trying to use pedal levels to control it. Even with the pedals the smooth distortion did not happen using my Origin Cali 76 dual compressor and two decent distortion pedals. I guess if I ever want to use the amp I'll need a power soak. The tube so far have done more than expected

I have a 91 peavey ultra 60 that started sounding "off" so I scoured around for a good tube compliment. I had to use a couple vendors, but am very happy with these. They open up well and respond to changes in settings perfectly. Very musical and open, good low end and chimey highs. Can't be beat for the money.

Put a set of these in a 1966 Bassman. And the old girl came alive. Clear and punchy, rumbled in my chest. Breathed "New Life"
Into an old friend. Thanks Bart and everyone at Sweetwater for great products and great service. No one does it better.

These were less expensive than any other matched pair at the time, and they sound great on top of that. Thanks sweetwater.

This is the first time I've used Tung-Sol tubes and I'm blown away with how great they sound. I highly recommend these tubes!

These are great tubes. They really bring a Fender to life. I put them in my Blues Deluxe and they make a noticeable improvement.

Put this pair of tubes in my Bugera T50 infinium and it cleared up a lot of the muddiness and made a noticeable improvement in the sound.
The amp came with EL34 tubes, and with the self-biasing that Bugera has built in, it was a simple swap out. Definitely a worthwhile investment!

Running these in a peavey valve king 212 100 watt and wow, it is night and day difference in sound. Haven't even cranked it past 6 and they sound great when they get warmed up. Highly recommend.

After buying two faulty matched sets of JJs I bought these tung sols and have no issues. My 90s 4/10 Fender blues deville sounds awesome

great choice for me! makes my silverface super sound a little more blackface! would purchase again!

I recently switched out new Ruby 12ax7a and 6L6GC power tubes in my 30 watt combo for Mesa 12ax7a and Tung Sol short bottle valves. There was an imnediate marked improvement in tone,volume and clarity--even my pedals sounded better. With this setup I have found my sound. Great price,great service--2 day delivery.

Tube differences can be ever so subtle ... that being said, I installed this "duet set" of Tung Sol 6L6GC power tubes in my 1965 Sears Silvertone Twin Twelve 1484 and holy moley ... the tone is absolutely awesome. Now, Is it the entire new set of tubes (New preamp tubes too ... 12AX7s and 6GC7s), or the cool vintage amp and vintage Jensen C12Q speakers? Probably a combination of all things working together. Who knows ... regardless, I would recommend these power tubes without hesitation. New tubes in amplifiers can be viewed like the helium in your carnival balloon you got as a kid ... the fist day the balloon could fly to the heavens if you were not hanging on tightly ... every day afterwards the helium slowly leaks out of the balloon to the point where it cannot lift itself off of the ground ... tubes are similar, in that you cannot see how much life has actually leaked out of them until you install a new set ... CHANGE OUT YOUR TUBE SETS.

The power tubes that camei with my amp were becoming microphonic and had a very shrill fizzy top end , lack of mids , They just didn"t do it for me . After reading many great reviews , I decided to try these Tung Sol 6l6GC STR tubes . I am glad I did ! They completely changed the character of my amp for the better . It sounds more musical and balanced , with a clarity that wasn"t there before . My amp sounds so much better on the clean and dirt channels ... I wish I had tried these years ago ! ... Great tubes !

First time using these tubes. I have been a JJ fan for years. Thought I'd give these a try. A little bit darker than the JJ's. Put these Tung Sol's in my EVH 50w head. I like the sound. Of course, I'll have to break these tubes in before I get the full impact of what these tubes are capable of. I would recommend these tubes to anyone looking for hard Rock to metal tones.
