Four 6v6 Wattage

[MereImage]

Hi All,

In a Mark IV, what is the total wattage with four 6v6 power tubes?

Thanks

Based on 6V6 specs, no more than 40W.

breogan,

Thanks for the reply. So if four 6L6s produce about 55 watts in Tweed mode, the four 6v6s are running at about 22 watts or so on Tweed mode. Does that sound about right?

Thanks

Yes, that looks right. That's what I would expect.

Wattage varies depending on the plate voltage, so you have to know which is the value when you set the amp to 6V6. But I think that is a very reasonable estimate.
