Greetings everyone. According to Kevin O'Connor of LONDON POWER amps, you can safely use a Studio 22 (or any other fixed bias amp) with only one output tube. He says it is then operating in class A. I've tried this, and it works, although I must say I haven't noticed much difference in tone or volume level (at a VERY small gig). Would like to read some of your comments. Cheers, Bill.
