Didn't those amps have 6550's?
It's not easy to coax 60 watts from a pair of 6L6's.
I'll bet it sounds great.

Cool article by my friend Dave Hunter.
Hmmm, what do you know, 6550 power tubes!

Yes 6550's as opposes to 6L6's as taken from the Gibson amp pages, I didn't pull the chassis or tubes out to check but should have , but that's what I like about Dave , if it's an amp then he knows it pretty well. Thanks again to Dave at VG magazine for calling me and asking to feature it .
