Converting 20th Shiva to KT88!

I've had a custom ordered EL34 20th Anniversary Shiva for years.

I have decided to get it to true spec and go KT88. Hopefully it will more easily gold its own with the Ecstacy I played.

It will go from 50 watts to 90 watts.

Either this, or I was going to trade it for a PRS Archon 100.
 
No not necessarily. If the output transformer is different than the KT88 model, and not designed with the correct impedance; changing to a higher output tube will not yield you more output. But 10 watts is not really going to make any big differences anyway.
 
I actually don't care what the wattage is, I just care that it sounds and feels good.
When I have the extra money, I'll have my tech convert it to the standard 20th Shiva KT88 configuration.

I had a 50 watt PWE that was one of thr loudest amps I've owned.
