Description
Immerse yourself in a pristine aural experience with the "Tube Amp Doctor - KT66 Premium - Power Tubes". Honouring the legacy of the iconic British KT66 models by MO Valve, GEC, Genalex, and Gold Lion, this tube’s authentic tone is unparalleled. Perfectly encased within a large curved glass cover complemented by a rounded brown base for that classic aesthetic. The secret weapon behind the transcendent tones of the famed Marshall JTM45 Plexi amps in the 60’s and the legendary Quad Hi-Fi amps, the KT66 offers a rich, amplified expression for your music. Take a leaf out of the legendary blues-rock guitarist SRV’s book, who used KT66 for his eloquent, colossal guitar resonance. Ideal for single-channel amps and dynamic playing, this tube lends a full-bodied, textured timbre with a distinct top end to your sound, making it the go-to choice for vintage British Rock and Roll, and the cutting-edge new-age vintage amps such as 2266 and 2466. Extend your auditory palette by using it as replacements for 6L6GC and 5881 tubes. Each power tube singled out as "Premium Selected" has excelled in extensive tests, including Plate Current, Amplification, Low Noise Test, Microphonic Test, Sonic Tests, Shock Tests, Listening Tests, and Shorts & Leakage Tests.

Underwent meticulous crafting compliant with RohS, and equipped with fine-tuned specifications, this power tube is set to revolutionise your sound.
