Hi,
i recently ordered what i thought was a 6v6 tube off ebay. They sent me this instead. Anything fun i could do with it?

I looked it up at the Duncan's Amp Pages Tube Data Sheet Locator and the html datasheet I found said that it is similar to a 6au6. The 6au6 has been used as a pentode preamp (in the same way as an EF86 although not the same tube) in some homebrew guitar amps. People seem to like them and they supposedly have more gain available than the EF86. Try googling about the 6au6 and you might get some ideas.
