All of our Fender Custom Vibrolux Reverb full Retube Kits are designed specifically for these amps. Every kit is configured to provide a specific sound/experience. All of our CVR kits use the Special Double Mica version of JJ’s 6L6GC-DM (found only at ET). The Double Mica modification has no effect on the sonics of the tube, it simply helps to reinforce the internal assembly to minimize the chance of tube rattle.
