Now that's resurrecting an old thread in style! :D

I've stuffed a quad of JJ KT88s into my VT-22, and get close to 140 Watts out of it. The power transformers in these old beasts were specified when the AC mains voltage was 110 Vrms. These days, its closer to 125 Vrms. My VT-40 (rebuilt as a 1x15") puts 605 V on the plates. NOS Sylvania 7027A tubes in this one.

I now have several V-2s, and a Jupiter B42X as well.


Ampeg rules, and Fender drools!
