what are these tubes good for?

Hi,

a friend of mine gave me some tubes he had laying around. they are all NOS in original boxes.

4 x GE 6135

3 x GE JAN 6X4WA

2 x Sovtek 6AU6

I was going to use the two 6AU6 in a pair of microphones that I'm building.

The 6X4WA is a dual diode rectifier so maybe I'll use that in the PSU for the mics.

The 6135 is a medium mu triode.

I am a total noob when it comes to tubes but would the 6135 be a good tube for a mic or preamp?

thanks

James

I bet CJ has the coolest house on the block.

Sadly, those are ill-suited for hurricane country here.

6135 is a 6C4

James, I did not mean to make fun of those tubes, but I had come across that pic minutes before your post, so it was very tempting.

Those GE's look like pretty darn good tubes. 5 star means good QC and long life. 6AU6 is no slouch either, so try em out. They should sound grrrrrrrreat.

In which case, it's half of a 12AU7, which makes a decent preamp stage.

Peace,

CJ,

I'm just now getting to see my post. My current session is kicking my ass! Love the pic btw!

Yeah, I think I will use the 6AU6s in my new mics. But I'm torn between using the 6135s in a mic pre or geetar amp. And thanks everybody for the replies.

cheers,

James
