but this unit has the added bonus of 'whisper quiet' on it's final dial, and also speaker emulator/simulator for silent recording. the switch in ' replace what you've lost' idea is great, i would've loved the actual switchable db increments to be a little quieter like it's rival the palmer has. however, we don't buy these attenuator chappies to IMPROVE our sound, but rather to give us an acceptable compromise at lower volumes, which this unit does admirably. i have a cornford mk50 ii and it sounds phenominal by itself. yes it does alter the sound a little, and the sounds are not QUITE as good as your amp totally unmasked. If you use it at -16 db just like me, those knobs won't works.Ī great piece of kit. Finaly, the "bite" and "punch" knobs are only functionnal when the power soak is set from full to -14 db. ![]() If your main goal is to use as an audio interface, i suggest you look first at other model out speaker emulation date from 2004 (!) and feels actually outdated. If you plan to do so, a high end power soak witch is able to do both with better sound might be a better option First, the impedance is fixed: if you want 8 and 16 ohms, you have to buy two version of it. The 2d very good point is the ability to use it as load box (without a speaker) but warning, you have to set the power soak manually on it. Of course, i can't compete the amp without it. So, i decided to go for this one, at "middle" price range and i am very happy of it. The inexpensive one cost less than 100 euros, but i was quite hesitant to have wait and spend so much money on my amp head to finally put some cheap gear on it (even it might be good for their prices) The high end one cost more than 1000 euros The thing is that cranck that precious at home is impossible without a power soak. 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.It tooks me lot of time to be able to buy my dream amp. Tube Amp Doctor has been around since 1993, always serving the musicians market with products designed in Germany. 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). "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.Ĭharacterizing 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. It is therefore a completely new development, combining the latest manufacturing techniques with traditional design and impeccable quality," the company states. "The TAD REDBASE series is built on an optimized production line - exclusively for TAD and only for this series. All features that make the TAD 6L6GCM-STR REDBASE an effective upgrade for virtually any amplifier that uses 6L6GC or 5881 tubes. It is intended for audio frequency power amplification service in either pentode, ultra-linear or triode connection and single or push-pull/parallel applications.Īccording 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. The new TAD 6L6GCM-STR REDBASE has a plate dissipation rating of 30 Watts with convection cooling. A damn high claim, but we are sure that we have achieved exactly that," the company states. "The TAD 6L6GCM-STR REDBASE is our latest 6L6GC designed and built to claim to be the best 6L6 type tube ever manufactured. 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. 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.
