Reducing output power

8/20/2003 3:31 PM
Geoff Gross	Reducing output power I'll be building an amp with a pp 6V6 power section in the next several months. I don't really want the thing to be much more than 15W or even less, if possible. Someone suggested that I reduce the screen voltage to reduce the output power. How does this affect the tone? I am not opposed to dropping the B+ to the power tubes and screens and running them in warm class AB/class A. Thoughts? Geoff
