Tube/valve 6386 Tungsol
back to categoryTWIN TRIODE WITH EXPONENTIAL TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS Perfect for the Fairchild 660 and 670 Limiter; as well as the Gates Sta-Level, and other vintage compressors, limiters, and levelers.
Description
The 6386 tube is a special miniature dual-triode primarily used as a control tube in high-end tube compressors (Variable-Mu) in audio engineering. Its unique "remote cutoff" characteristic curve enables controlled, smooth compression.
A RARE tube used in the FAIRCHILD 660/670 compressor devices
Also a GREAT option to upgrade any WE 396A, 2C51 or 6n3P / 6H3nE in audio circuits.
Comparing the WE396A directly with the 6386 LPG the 6386 opens up like removing a curtain and is offering airy clear details while the WE396A appears a bit smoother and relaxed.
