Didn't those amps have 6550's?
It's not easy to coax 60 watts from a pair of 6L6's.
I'll bet it sounds great.

Yes 6550's as opposes to 6L6's as taken from the Gibson amp pages, I didn't pull the chassis or tubes out to check but should have , but that's what I like about Dave , if it's an amp then he knows it pretty well. Thanks again to Dave at VG magazine for calling me and asking to feature it .
