Don't blame the victim. The 6V6 tube was very popular w/ Fender in the
below 30 watt guitar amp category. However, the tube will not compensate
for poor surrounding circuits, pickups, speakers, etc. I would suggest
trying them in amps of known quality; i.e. Fender Princeton or Delux.
I've used both of these in the past and was quite pleased with the tone.

Has anyone had the chance to try these tubes in audio/guitar amps ? If
yes how do they sound? are they worth the premium price ? I read the
filaments draw 6ooma is this accurate? there a fellow on ebay whose
selling a bunch off in auction of 5 10 20 120 tubes per auction. I'm
tempted


I got one at a hamfest a while back. I tried it in a 5F2-A Princeton
clone I scratch built, I was pretty underwhelmed. RCA and Sylvania 6V6
tubes sound much better in my amp than the Bendix. The 5992 tube
sounded kinda dry and flat, not a lot of sparkle.
