6L6 Tube List
Since There So Many
Versions Of The 6L6
Tube, This List Is Divided
Into Each Version
6L6GC
The 6L6GC is the latest version of the 6L6
tube. This version has a 30 watt plate dissipation, 500V plate
rating and 450V 5watt screen rating. If your amplifier calls for this
tube, you probably CANNOT use some of the earlier 6L6 tubes as they are not
rated this high. CHECK YOUR AMP'S VOLTAGES! BE CAREFUL!
