Special transformers are developed to accept a 6V6 as well as a 6L6 powertube. The 6V6 is sweeter and rounder, the 6L6 will give better low end and can be used in combination with a 5AR4 rectifier to produce more than 10Watts. The pre-amp operates with an old style 6SL7GT tube but can be modified to a more conventional 12AT7NOS. AJ: "The 6SL7GT’s have a nice round and warm tone for clean as well as overdriven sounds.
