TAD always focused mainly on the guitar amplifier and tube-based equipment for the musician's market, but the company also offers a wide range of tube products for hi-fidelity applications. Acting as a distributor for all the most famous brands and stocking a vast collection of NOS products, TAD gradually developed its own brand of vacuum tubes, capacitors, wiring accessories and kits, mainly focusing on guitar amplifier applications. "The TAD 6L6GCM-STR REDBASE is our latest 6L6GC designed and built to claim to be the best 6L6 type tube ever manufactured. A damn high claim, but we are sure that we have achieved exactly that," the company states.
The new TAD 6L6GCM-STR REDBASE has a plate dissipation rating of 30 Watts with convection cooling. It is intended for audio frequency power amplification service in either pentode, ultra-linear or triode connection and single or push-pull/parallel applications.
According also to Tube Amp Doctor, the new 6L6GCM-STR REDBASE will benefit any amplifier design with a powerful but always well-defined bass range from the legendary American built NOS RCA 6L6GC, with clear and unobtrusive, yet transparent highs, added headroom, and superb responsiveness with outstanding dynamics. All features that make the TAD 6L6GCM-STR REDBASE an effective upgrade for virtually any amplifier that uses 6L6GC or 5881 tubes.
"The TAD REDBASE series is built on an optimized production line - exclusively for TAD and only for this series. It is therefore a completely new development, combining the latest manufacturing techniques with traditional design and impeccable quality," the company states. "In preparation for the unparalleled TAD-premium matching, the TAD REDBASE series tubes receive a special, additional burn-in and formatting process in Germany, optimizing the quality of the cathode emission and achieving an exceptionally detailed sound structure," they add.
Characterizing the development further, TAD says that the new 6L6GCM-STR REDBASE combines the structural advantages of the robust American Philips / Sylvania 6L6GC, also known as MESA 6L6GC-STR415, and the sound quality of the legendary RCA 6L6GC tubes. All TAD tubes are individually tested and approved, selected and premium matched - an exact matching of power tubes with identical Plate Current (PC) and Transconductance (TC).
Tube Amp Doctor has been around since 1993, always serving the musicians market with products designed in Germany. With a continuously growing reputation and an expanding product line of top-quality tube amp equipment and parts, TAD has become a leading tube supplier in the global market.
