6L6 stereo power amp?

EtherealWidow · Oct 18, 2009

Not looking for a whole ton here. Just a simple stereo power amp at 8 ohms based on 6L6's. At least 30 watts. Don't need a whole lot o' features either. Presence knob is preferable, but not mandatory. Doesn't have to be rackmount either. Anyone know of anything? The reason I don't want a Mesa power amp is because it's $1,100. :/

Does it need to be Mesa?

I have two Peavey 120/120 amps. The have eight 6L6's and a few 12x7's and really do a great job.

Does 120 a side rms or 240 rms watts bridged

I suggest getting one

Doesn't have to be Mesa at all. Not even hand built. Just reliable and cheap is all I ask. Thanks for the response! I'll have to check them out.

The peaveys are good. You can find them for a pretty cheap on ebay.

Also if you want something new Carvin has their TS100. It's a two channel stereo 50 watts a side power amp or bridge 100watts. You can put EL-34's or 6L6's in it. It's $549 brand new.

Cheapest new tube stereo power amp would be the 50 watt per side Carvin TS100 https://www.carvinguitars.com/products/single.php?product=TS100 . $549.00. After that your into used amps. VHT, Freyette, Mesas 50/50 are about your only options. New price on those are around $1,300.00 tho.
