So I bought one of these amps from a recommendation of an out of state friend.http://www.myspace.com/classof57amps
He stated that this amp was around 15-20 watts. It is based on a '57 princeton circuit. I asked for a 6L6 tube in the output. I received the amp yesterday and it plays well, but it is nowhere near 15-20 watt output to my ears. It was about equal to my valve jr (which I love) played with the same cabinet.
I checked the output tube and it is a 6K6. I think those are older versions of a 6V6? The preamp tube is a no name. I guess 12AX7.
How much more output can I get with a 6L6/KT66 or a EL34. I have a 1-12 cabinet and a 4-12 cabinet.
Help. Suggestions? I may return it. I already have two low power amps.
