Dual Rec question

[diaz]

Can you safely remove 2 power tubes for 50watts?

-D

 

[Elpelotero]

yes...

Remove either #1 and #4, or #2 and #3. Also remove a rectifier tube and use the 4ohm jack instead of the 8ohm jack.

 

[Mr.Hetfield]

Hell yeah!

Fact: I did that to mine.... with the 2 middle ones

 

[cjl]

but who wants 50watts anyway

Does it matter which 5u4 rectifier tube you pull out after you say pull out the middle two power tubes?

yes...

Remove either #1 and #4, or #2 and #3. Also remove a rectifier tube and use the 4ohm jack instead of the 8ohm jack.

nothing good in pulling of the 2 tubes

I'll beg to differ. Some others on this board will beg to differ also.

It doesn't matter which rectifier tube you pull, you just need to pull one IF you are using the tube rectifier setting. If you use the diodes, there's no need to pull a rectifier tube.

Also, when you pull tubes, you'll need to plug your cab into the tap that's half of what your cab is....IE 8 ohm cab into the 4 ohm jack, 16 ohm cab into the 8 ohm jack, etc.
