Re: 6AU6 Tube

Uncle Ned	Re: 6AU6 Tube A 6AV6 is a 7 pin tube equivalent to half of a 12AX7 (just ground the two extra diode plates). They're cheap, we only charge $2 for them. A 6AU6 might work wired as a high-mu triode (hook G1, G2 & G3 together), but I've never tried it. OTOH, 6AV6 I've seen used many times in lieu of 1/2 of a 12AX7. Any rate, the pinouts & data for both 6AV6 and 6AU6 can be found here: http://duncanamps.simplenet.com/tubedata/tubesearch.html" target="_blank">http://duncanamps.simplenet.com/tubedata/tubesearch.html">http://duncanamps.simplenet.com/tubedata/tubesearch.html
