The all new TAD-EL84-STR REDBASE brings together the best of both worlds – the famous EL84-Cz and the EL84M. TAD opted for the thickest glass possible and the heaviest construction available, just like the Russian EL84M, and combined these features with the sonically most promising cathode plate options, in order to provide exquisite tonal quality, especially regarding its linearity over the entire frequency range. TAD added a gold grid wire in order to improve overall reliability. Very harmonic in the middle and treble frequencies, without adding too much power to the bass. The result is the best EL84 in current production.
NOTE: This EL84 being wider than the standard EL84 will not fit the Marshall DSL201, DSL401, Bad Cat, or certain vintage VOX AC15 and AC30 variants where the valve is mounted through the chassis. Modern Vox amps are fine.

Includes a 180 day from receipt warranty (excluding user-caused mechanical damage) for peace of mind.
Note: Valves use high voltages and these voltages are dangerous. The amp can still retain these high voltages for some time, even after being switched off. If you are not sure of fitting them, please seek the services of qualified personnel.
