Has anyone successfully run modern day 6550 or KT-88's in this amp? My only experience is with the NOS TS 6550 & GE 6550A.


Thanks!


:D

Beemer...I know a bass player that runs Gold Lion KT88's in his. He says they can take a good beating, but he has only had them in there for a few months. No issues so far...other than his back is sore from lifting that behemoth PS400!

Much thanks!

Did he buy selected KT-88 --- tightly matched and tested under real amp conditions?

:D

Not that I am aware of. He did however tell me when he ordered the tubes he told them what he was putting them into.

Next time I see him I ask for a more thorough report!

Talk to Rich Korner at Time Electronics. He's one of the experts on this amp and can tell you what, if any tubes can be substituted in.
