Halp guys...VHT content

Why'd I bother asking this question at HCAF

Anyways, I found a wicked deal on a VHT 2/90/2 and I need to know what tube types it can take. Can it take tubes besides kt88/6550 type such as el34 or 6l6 type?

Thanks

Not trying to be an ass about it, but you can Google it as easily as I can.

Honestly did you think I didn't try that already? Send me a link if you did find something that confirms what it can use.

Looks like no. Isn't part of the whole point of the 2/90/2 the KT88 tubes?

Those are the Fryette's. I wasn't sure if the design has changed.

I know that the VHT 2/50/2 can run 6l6 and el34 but on the fryette site it says that it has just el34. Thats what I was unclear about the 2/90/2.

And yes, the whole point of the 2/90/2 is to be able to run kt88/6550 tube type which is why I wanted it. But I would also like to run kt77's or el34 tube type so that is why I was looking for information on it.

I already found that and I read through that whole thing. Maybe I missed something, but I didn't see a mention of what tube types the 2.90.2 could take (i did see the 2.50.2)

So... How wicked of a deal are we talkin' here?

Maybe guitarslinger will chime in. He knows this stuff pretty well.

AFAIK only the tubes in it, but the truth is any amp can be modded by a qualified tech to be adjustable bias and so forth so you could have it your way either way.

Correction, only the first gen 2/50/2 could run EL34 or 6L6. They can now only run EL34. The Black Beauty is a 2/50/2 (called 2/56/2 and was limited run only) with 6L6s, although it is slightly different sounding as well.

As stated though, almost any amp can be modded to run different tubes.

6550/KT88/KT90/KT100 are all from the same family and should all work.
