Front Panel
Your new Fender® amplifier comes equipped with the highest
quality tubes available, sourced from various manufacturers all
over the world. Because of occasional irregularities in supply,
the specific tube type used in each amplifier is subject to
change without notice.
When replacing output tubes, please note the specific tube
markings on the original tubes factory supplied with your
amplifier. For example, 6L6 output tube types used by Fender
include, but are not limited to: 6L6GC; 6L6WXT; 6L6C; 6L6GE;
etc. The installation of a different type may require significant
adjustment by a qualified technician to avoid reduction in
performance and tube life.
Additionally, Groove Tubes™ sorts and tests many of our
output tubes, and paints them with a color-coded label. If
your amp came supplied with, for example, White-labeled
6L6WXT tubes, then a new set of White 6L6WXT tubes will
be the perfect direct replacement.
If you have questions or concerns, contact your Fender dealer
or authorized service center.
