6L6 with TW OT??

[d2camero]

I gotta couple of extra TW OTs from Moose (the ones with 5.6k and 6.6k primaries). Can I drive this OT into an 8 ohm load with a pair of 6L6GC? If it will work is is a bad idea?

thanks

Sure! Smoke 'em if ya got 'em!

Seriously, your iron will work just fine. 5.6k load is close enough to what Fender used and that's a pretty conservative application. Just copy say Super Reverb values for your gridstoppers and your Grid 2 resistors and you'll be good.

I built my Express with adjustable bias, so I have run 6L6's in it with no other mods than a bias adjustment, Way different bias voltage than EL34'S or 6V6's. It was my favorite setup until I found some Mullard xf2's in my old Dynaco stereo.

go for it. moose's express outputs use the same lam dimensions and stack thickness as the "larger" fender 2-6l6 outputs (ie---super reverbs, blackface/silverface bassman heads, etc) and moose's version also uses the same grade steel (m27) as the vintage fender stuff used. 6l6's will be just fine with the 5.2k pri. rh

I put some NOS Tung-Sol 5881s in my Express clone and they sound fabulous. All they required was a bias adjustment.
