Re: Sundown amp? What is it?

quote:
"Are you sure those are 6L6 tubes in there? If it is a 100w Artist, they are most likely 6550 tubes. If they are in fact 6L6s, your amp is only a 50 watt model. I have an Artist 50 which has the 6L6s."

dennis kager ran into a bunch of unreliable 6550s,
so he went to 6L6s--which dennis said he preferred in the end. there were 50 and 100 watt models in both 6550 and 6L6 formats, i recall dennis told us when we interviewed him for our book AMPEG: THE STORY BEHIND THE SOUND. (see http://members.aol.com/risehigh/book.htm if interested)
