Amp 6V6's KT66's etc.

I've tested a Marshall with 6V6's in the output section and I put a post on this forum about that exercise. It was interesting. I used one of my 1974 4 input 50 watt Marshall amps and I just biased the amp so that it could use a 6V6. I used an Electro Harmonix 6V6 which could easily handle the voltages(about 400) of this amp. Myles the rhythm guitarist in my band www.polarisband.com uses one of these amps(I have two that are identical) as his amp and he's used it since 1993, no effects, nothing... Anyway we've had the KT66's in the amps for about the last 5 years either the Groove Tubes Saratov or the Valve Art. This made swapping the 6V6 even easier.

He tried the amp at a gig and he felt that it was just a little too soft and it didn't have enough headroom and dynamics when compared to the KT66 powered amp. The tone was very similar and it's something you might like.
