What does the Rebel 30 have under the hood??

[guitarslinger]

I've seen tons of discussion, but, no mention of tubes inside.

4xEL84/4x6V6??

 

[EWSEthan]

I thought it was 2 EL84s and 2 6V6s.

That's what the Rebel 20 has.

How can they squeeze 10 more watts out of the same tube complement???

 

[RockStarNick]

Easy.

Magic.

 

[guitarslinger]

bump.

Please, can somebody give me a definitive answer.

Jeff?

Bruce?

 

[Jeff Hilligan]

Same as the 20 2 6v6 and 2 el 84.

I guess nobody wants to tackle this question? Either that or nobody has the answer??!!??

That's not the question I wanted answered.

I want to know how they can squeeze 10 more watts out of the same exact tube complement as the Rebel? The Rebel 30 has 30 watts.

We hired a couple of wattage gnomes to handle things for us

I'm not amp/electronics savvy, but I know (off the top of my head) my old 5150 combo had two 6L6s for 60 watts. The head had 120 watts w/ 4 6L6s vs. what you'd think is the standard 100 watts w/ the same tubes. I think my Zinky Mofo was either 50 or 60 w/ 2 6L6s. So, it's not uncommon... Or maybe the Rebel 20 is rated low.

6V6 has about half the power of a 6L6, so that's not really a viable comparison. an EL84 possesses similar wattage characteristics to the 6V6.
