The Telefunken 6550-TK Black Diamond Series Vacuum Tube is ideal for use in Leslie cabinets and guitar, bass, and keyboard amplifiers in homes, studios, and live stage applications. For personal enjoyment, live performance, or commercial recording, it grants the essence of a 6L6 with increased gain and enhanced stability. In a slightly larger footprint than a 6L6, this beam pentode (or power tetrode) tube delivers up to 35W of output power and extended longevity.
