Different single power tubes in MA50H?

[jagermike66]

Hello all!

So im in a slight power tube dilemma. As some of you know I'm a big KT77 fan. For the past few months I've been trying out some 6CA7s, and have been pretty happy. Problem is, I love how the KT77 breaks up, but I also quite like the fatness offered by the 6CA7. Seeing as the MA50 allows for individual tube biasing, and both tubes are EL34 drop in replacements, could I run 1 KT77 and 1 6CA7 safely? Never thought of trying this before, but if it gives me the best of both worlds then could be worth a go!

cheers!

Mike

There's no reason why not.

Sounds like it's worth trying. Go for it. Be sure to let us know how it sounds, mate.
