I was rifling through my collection of tubes and I stumbled upon a 6u10 that I acquired a few years back as a replacement for the one in my Reverberocket. Decided to go look up the data and discovered that it appears to be a triple triode, with two sections close to a 12au7 and the 3rd section like a 12ax7. Does anybody have any experience with these? Could this be used as a preamp tube, or for the PI? Any suggestions would be welcome.
thanks

The Super Champ uses a 6C10 which is similar to the 6U10 (both triple triode compactrons) except it has the characteristics of a 12AX7 with three triodes. In the Super Champ circuit, the tube is being used as the phase inverter and the other triode is for reverb recovery.
