Members Bumhucker Posted November 3, 2012 Members Share Posted November 3, 2012 I think $200 would be a good deal if they're willing to budge. I'd ask to take a peek inside and make sure its built solidly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst he can do is say no. Also.....wouldn't 4 6L6GC tubes be more than fitty watts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, its overrated powerwise probably but still....though, maybe not as the volume it produces is quite amazing.I guess the bias is really cold or something? 6L6 are rated for up to 30 watts according to god.

Er, wikipedia. 6L6s [at least most of them anyways] are supposed to produce 30w a tube. That said, more than just the tube is involved in wattage ratings and whatnot.

But, for simplicity's sake I'll assume its magical and therefore I don't need to learn anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ovid9 Posted November 3, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 3, 2012 Originally Posted by Bumhucker I think he may actually have a perfect game going I went from having my Bravo & Triumph to adding a VTM & the Acoustic 150 before she noticed. I also added 2 guitars in that span...She went downstairs one day and looked over to the other side of the room and said "Where'd those come from?"Its all I can do to keep from ordering a 2nd Acoustic 150 used from GC. They have one for cheap right now and I want it SOOOOO bad. I'd have 300 watts of 70s SS power...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
