Re: Questions for Guitar Players

If you're concerned about the resale aspect of the amp I would suggest not to use the 7591's, I've never heard of this tube being used in a guitar amp. Why not design the amp to able to use both 6v6's and 6l6's? The 6v6's would output around 20-22 watts while the 6l6's should get you 35-40 watts, I believe all that is needed would be to swap out rectifer tubes and then reset the bias. Allen amps offers this on several of his models.

As far as new production tubes I can tell you that the TAD 6L6WGC is a great sounding tube, although I haven't used them long enough to know how the longevity will be, they came perfectly matched and I'm now running them in both a 64 Bassman head and a 64 Super Reverb. They don't have quite the midrange of the Slyvanias that I use as a reference but they're very close.
