Hi all, I have a great new set of Sylvania 6L6GB tubes I have kept safely in storage for two and a half decades. Can I use the 6L6GB tubes instead of 6L6GC in my Music Man HD-150 amp without burning them out? Can the GBs handle the plate voltage in the HD-150? Thanks. |

NO-NO-NO! The GB's can only handle about 350v if my memory serves me right. THye're closer to the voltage rating of a 6v6. Maybe not THAT low but pretty low. Do NOT use them in a MM. Think Chernobyl! |
