Ah OK - the SVT DID use 6146es for one year - 1969. All of the ones I ever worked on were the types with 6550s, which I think covers the majority of them... Either amplifier is good for about 200 to 300 watts of audio. VERY nice when you need a little extra kick in the pants on stage! They still make the SVT CL model with 6550s at 300 watts. I worked on a number of those as well as the larger Sunn power amplifiers, Fender 400 watt (claimed) amplifiers and the like. I think Acoustic had some chunky models that would really churn out some audio power too - but they were all squalid state. HiWatt lived up to their name and built some with Six KT88s Ampeg claims that their SVT-8 head will deliver 2500 watts RMS. Again it's "squalid state," but how's THAT for rattling the walls? Don't practice on that one at home when the neighbors are in! ______________________________________________________________ AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Partner Website: http://www.amfone.net Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
