Dual Rectifier 2010 - pair of tubes running in 50 Watt ?

[UnderJollyRoger]

Hi folks,

question says it all: I'm currently running EL34, but I want to fiddle around a little, probably buy a new pair of 6L6.

For testing purposes, I think a pair for 50 Watts should be enough ... anybody knows for sure which pair is running in 50 Watts, outer or inner ? Should I fill up the other spot or can I leave it completely empty (I have a set of old tubes, so no problem doing that...)

Per the manual.

Each Channel contains our patented MULTI-WATT power switch that allows you to choose either 50 or 100 watts (50 or 150 watts on TRIPLE RECTIFIER) of power enabling you to match the power output and feel to each of the three foot switchable preamp sounds. The 50 WATT position (switch down) brings two of the four (outside pair – far left and far right) tubes on line for a clippable 50 watts of power. The 100 WATT setting (150 WATT on TRIPLE RECTIFIER) brings on line all the 6L6 power tubes for the full power and headroom. This setting is preferred for pristine clean sounds and tight-tracking high gain sounds

Ah, crap ... I didn't think this would be in the manual. Well, RTFM, I guess.

Thanks for pointing that out.
