Hello all,
So I finaly received my EVH 50w 5150 head and I love it! I read that all the EVH amps come equiped with JJ tubes. Which I think is great because I've used JJ tubes for years. In my 5150 the tubes have no writing/silkscreen on them, no JJ logo, all they have is a little sticker at the base of them that says "IDK 6". I've never heard of IDK tubes. I was thinking it ment "I Dont Know"? Any one else have with a EVH 5150 with tubes like this?
thanks,
Lou

Lou,

Congrats on the amp. JJ 6L6GC's have a distinct bottle shape. Thinner and taller than most 6L6GC. With a pronounced rounded top. Dunno what "IDK 6" means. Since it is a sticker, prolly a post-production thing.

Thank you for the reply. I'll have to compair the shape to some other 6L6 JJ's I have. I'll also post a picture of the "IDK 6" sticker when I get home from work.
Thanks,
Lou

A circle going through the interior of the tube itself?

That flat, formed, metal structure inside the glass, with the holes in it, is called the Plate.
