Amps using 6SL7 preamps
I'm trying to gather a list of manufacturers of new amps using 6sl7 preamp tubes. I'm aware of the following, and was wondering if there are others:
Siegmund Guitars Alessandro High End Electronsonic Amps Does anyone know of any others? I know there are a lot of old amps (Ampeg, in particular) that use these, but I'm looking for something new. |

Komet has/had one (or is that 6SN7?).

Steve Kimock Two rock doesn't have any funky tubes...he has a Two Rock Opal prototype amp that uses an all octal preamp section. Never went into production, but there are a few around.
Emery Sound also does the octal thing. There's a guy that was from around my area by the name of Jule Amps. Didn't like the tone or the gain structure of his amps, but they were all octal. There's a company called Jackson Ampworks that does an octal preamp section as well. It's called the Union Jack. |

The Komet Constellation has a 6SN7 tube. I'm not sure if it is interchangeable in that amp to drop in a 6SL7. Hogy mentioned there was a higher gain tube I could pop in the socket, but I never explored it as I did not need more gain.

Yes, the 6SL7 is higher gain and pin for pin compatible with the 6SN7.

6SL7 preamp with a pair of KT66's on the back end. Blackface Vibrolux inspired with some cool tweaks.

Uses a 6SC7 in the 'normal' channel.
