General

This duet of matched 6550-style power amplifier valves is made for pulling that late-eighties/early-nineties American-flavoured tone out of tube amplifiers. Think that AFD-style sound made famous by Slash and you know what we're getting at. This is the Ruby Tubes 6550ASTR-2 set.

NAMM 2016: Tube Amp Doctor Delivers Vintage Preamp Tubes

Wednesday 27 January 2016

Tube Amp Doctor, or TAD for short, has two new additions to their impressive lineup of amplifier tubes: the 12AY7/6072A Highgrade and the 12AY7/6072A Selected preamp tubes. These preamp tubes offer less gain than the standard 12AX7 tubes that virtually every modern tube amp is equipped with. Instead, they offer a beautiful vintage tone.
