6BZ7 to be found in Europe

[johnheath]

Hi all...

Well, the question is if there is a website from europe who sells this specific tube in europe?

It seems that the 6BQ7 is very similar so I ask the same question about that tube as well.

on ebay there are plenty of ECC85. You can try a PCC85 as well, but it would be underheated (thats not bad at all).

Hi John, the european equivalents for these tubes are  ECC180, E180CC, 5965, 5965a or similiar. You can find them on Ebay, BTB Elektronik or TubeAmpDoctor.

Thanks guys… I've checked TAD and they have a E180CC which I guess is the same as the ECC180???

I have ordered a couple of ECC85 and they just arrived today and hopefully they'll do the job =)

Thanks again

I suppose you want to use the tubes for your vari mu comp, so the ECC85 is the best choice.
