Rectifier Tubes
On amps that use tube recitification, recitifer tubes provide supply to pre and power tubes.
Often found in guitar amps, a rectifier tube plays an important role in shaping the tone of an amplifer. It is important to keep the recitifiers fresh when re-tubing an amp.
Same rectifier was numbered differently depending on the application or region. Please refer to each description for direct replacement types.
