Just wanted to get the word out about these new Groove Tubes, 6L6GE. They bought the machinery on which these tubes were made from the last existing General Electric tube manufacturer in Kentucky. They are reproductions made based on original General Electric specifications. "Made in California" is proudly printed on the base of these tubes. Imagine! Something actually made here in the U.S. It's about time. Every review I've read online has been very positive. I bought a matched pair for my Fender Deville to replace the Russian made Sovteks, and the sound of the amp improved immensely. More punch, more clarity. Not only do you get a great tube, but you also support American manufacturing.
