The Electro-Harmonix 6L6EH / 6L6GC Gray Plate Platinum
Vacuum Tube is a glass-octal type used in the output
stage of audio amplifying equipment, especially units
designed to have ample reserve of power-delivering
ability. They require an octal socket. This tube, like
other power-handling tubes, should be adequately
ventilated. The 6L6GC Vacuum Tube can be mounted in
any position.

tetrodes modeled after the vintage RCA 6L6GC "blackplate".
It features large plate dimensions and improved grid
structure for increased power handling capabilities.
The Electro-Harmonix 6L6EH Vacuum tube also features mica
spacers with metal springs to eliminate tube rattle and
microphonics.

and high-powered, 6L6GC tube.

energy and bottom end support.
