The 6L6 was first developed in 1936, it to was a military valve {tube}, as was the E-7027. I hear that after many years, the E7027 is again being made. The musical instrument amplifier companies have almost always used 6L6's, along with the EL34's. If i'm not mistaken the civilian equivalent to the E7027 was the 6550. I know in all my Fender guitar amps they have always used the 6L6, my Twin Reverb, Super Reverb, Vibrolux. My Ampeg amps used EL34's. Completely different sounds, but i love them both. Carvin makes a rack mount power amp, where you can change the bias, and switch different power tubes for different gigs. All great tubes are made in Europe. I play mostly pedal steel guitar. And for pedal steel solid state amps are prefered. Crystal clean sound with as little distortion as possible. I use the Peavey Nashville 112, and also the Fender Steel King. Both just fantastic amps. But i have used my little 65 Fender black face Fender Deluxe for steel. Here's a picture of me and my old 1965 Fender Deluxe Reverb amp, and peavey 2 12 Black Widow bottom.
