Stock Tubes and Tube Life

Postby kissfanps » 07 Jun 2011, 13:44

Hey all - I have a couple questions. Does anyone know what the stock tube brands are? I couldnt find the answer on the forum. Also, I am assuming that the power control will lead me to replace power tubes more often as I can always have the master up higher. True?

I believe i´ve read that they are SED Winged C 6550´s Guess the preamp valves the usual. Think the Power control actually makes the output valves last longer because they don´t have to work as hard as when you play the amp normally dimed.

To answer the tube life question try this thread:

Beck-Ola seemed to have quite a bit of knowledge about this (I was the one questioning him). As it relates to the AFD100's use of power scaling prolonging tube life, I agree with his theory on this but we never did get a confirmation from Steve or Santiago on that one.
