Korg are making a dual triode low voltage tube.

Wonder if it is any good.

Actually, that's old news. They announced its availability about a year
ago. And the radio in my 1957 Ford had low voltage tubes (and no
vibrator) in it.

And so do a few pre-amps that have been around for years. Generally
sound quality is secondary to simply advertising it is "tubed" :-(

That's not a low-voltage tube. It's a standard tube operated with a low
plate voltage to make it sound bad.

If you want some to play with:

And Vox are using it in an amp:

So, $50 for something with very low mu and hardly any current drive capability?
That seems kind of much to me.

It is reviewed in last months AudioXPress.

The idea is kind of cool, but it doesn't look to be actually useful.
The curves are very weird, and it draws too much grid current to be
interesting for microphones.

Gareth.

A lot more info here, including links to the datasheet, and two projects
with pcb's - a buffer and a headphone amp - using the Korg Nutube 6P1.
I'm not affiliated, just interested.
