The Rickenbacker RickTone 6 is one of the smallest and earliest amplifiers in the RickTone series, producing approximately 6 watts of tube power for student and home practice use. Its single-ended output stage using a single 6V6 tube delivers a raw, uncompressed tone that is harmonically simple but pleasantly direct. The RickTone 6 is the most entry-level of the numbered RickTone models.
