CLASS A AMPS

[Bloozman]

Anyone have any suggestions for a Class A amp other than a Lonestar Special?....are there any Class A Amps out there with a higher output that 30 watts?...any input will be appreciated!!

You won't find any true class A amps that are significantly higher than 30 watts, mainly because the class A design is inherently inefficient. Check out Mesa's article about class A or do some googling. Personally if I had a class A amp (such as a Lone Star Special), I would drop it down to as low of a wattage as I could get it and then CRANK it to 11. (...and then have to change my tubes probably once a month, heh)

I love the sound of my little Vibrochamp. 6W class A. But Mcmanus is right.. a class A amp with 30W + would be really inefficient and REALLY HOT!
