I was a GT dealer before Fender took over, and cut me out.

GT definitely made the "6L6GE", a tube that was an exact copy of the GE 6L6GC from late 60's/early 70's.

They were quite expensive, and sounded great. I did have a few premature failures from them, and quit using them in favor of their 6L6B, which was Russian.

I was a dealer for New Sensor and Mike Mathews who set up all those 'Russian' factories in the 80's. He did a great service to all and after some manufacturing pitfalls made some great tubes.

Looks like it's all a swan song now
