I enjoy "modern blues tones". So; I decided I'd try them in my Super Champ X2. Indeed I'm glad I did! I can't speak in audiophile terms of "3d and sound stage" etc so much. However; I did notice that the sound to me is more crisp and defined; and well; flat out excellent IMO. I've previously tried the JJs; some NOS stuff, and the stock Groove Tubes. Mr. Templeton also states "the blues tone was incredible, much smoother than NOS or JJ with a fluid musical distortion and moderate compression. By comparison, the JJ was louder, compressed hard and had a crunchy rock sound. No microphonics with the Tung-Sol and a very low noise floor. In a tweed amp like a Deluxe or Tremolux that is made for a 6V6, the blues players may pee their pants." As a Blues player I have to agree with his assessment! I do have a DRRI and will try them in there as well, as these tubes are also recommended for DRRIs and any amp that uses these tubes. (different review cited for this) Oh My Good-i-ness! These tubes are really, really nice IMO! I did not see any reviews here for this tube set; and so I figured I needed to put this here in hopes of helping someone else out here that enjoys incredible blues (and other clear, crisp) tones. Even if you are more into rockin' tones - I'd still consider these. Of course YMMV. Or not. Cheers!Read full review

Switched to these after my Groove Tube 6v6 pair died. The Tung Sols are not quite as warm in a classic rock sense, but are warm nonetheless. They also seem to have a bit more clarity and modern sound. No doubt, the sonic difference is minimal. By all accounts these tubes are well made, and ought to last much longer than the Groove Tubes, which is what got me to make the switch. So far, so good!

Recently purchased a lightly used Fender Super-champ XD. Replaced the miss-matched Magnovox 6V6GT and F.M. Co.6V6GT tubes With the Tung-Sol 6v6GT tubes. The Tung-Sol was recommended as a premium replacement.
