Vacuum tubing amplifiers are some of the most sought after amperes in the industry owed to their warm rich tones. For old age people have got compared certain types of ampere tubings for their sonic profusion and warmth. More than that, it looks to be the aged vintage theoretical accounts that win most guitar players over for their great guitar tone. The large job usually happens when trying to happen new old stock tubes, or at least tubing that may be similar in its characteristics.

In this article we are going to look at the KT66 powerfulness tube. This well respected tubing was introduced in the mid 1950's by the Marconi-Osram Valve Company. They marketed their tubings under the name of "Genalex". The KT66 was Europe's version of the American 6L6GC.

The KT66 tubing is quite bigger than the 6L6 in physical size. It also have quite a large sound to travel along with it's size. The tubing was used in the celebrated E. G. Marshall Bluesbreaker Jazz Band in 1965 - 1966. E. G. Marshall eventually changed to the more than readily available EL34.

If you're lucky adequate to happen an original new old stock matched brace of KT66 tubes, you should be prepared to pay around $600.00. This is the current cost of these "original" bad boys.

On the other hand, you can acquire a matched brace of the reprint Genalex KT66 tubings for a much more than low-cost terms of $99.00. These reprint tubings reduplicate the large clear bottle of the United Kingdom tube, as well as it's brown base, gold-ink lettering with prancing king of beasts logo, gold plated screen, and immense plate structure.

The comparing between the original KT66 tubings and the reprint tubings are as follows:

• The early original KT66 tubings sounded big and brawny, with drawn-out low pressures and a very rich and elaborate set of mids and highs. Something all guitar participants be given to look for in a quality tube.


• The reprint Genalex KT66 tubings sounds incredibly similar to the original. They present an almost indistinguishable sense of presentation and focus. They did not look to float into the awful saggy zone when pushed into distortion. As with the original tubes, the reprints KT66's overdrive voice is throatier and more than british-sounding than the 6L6's, and they react beautifully to the alterations in picking and volume dynamics.

It's very easy to see why this robust-sounding tubing stays so popular with savvy musicians. With such as a great-sounding reprint tubing available at lone a fraction of the cost of the originals, it's an attractive substitution for any 6L6 ampere that have enough cabinet space to suit the KT66's tall bottle.

As far as long-term reliability of the reissue, it's hard to state for certain because the superbly made original is a tough enactment to follow in that regard. However, if you're interested in getting great guitar tone of voice with the highly acclaimed KT66 powerfulness tube, the reprint Genalex theoretical account really hits the mark.

I trust this have helped cast visible light on the highly acclaimed KT66 powerfulness tube.
