Hej Lasse Revintage, Surprise !

Yes, I'm wondering if that EAR-amp is alive now??....I felt sorry for him when he picked it up, because it became too expensive, so he got a bag of spare tubes and a new sixpack of 6550's for his Ampeg bass amp too. I heard he was in contact with the Paravincini gang in England and confident about getting the EAR in working order.

Hi,

As Wavebourn says go for one triode and one pentode!


...to get a SE-Pull configuration, like I did in Alligator amp, but much cheaper!
In Alligator I used one triode VS one precision SS modulated current source. What I've found, practically such complexity was meaningless: triode half varied own amplification factor while SS part continued to deliver a stable current swing. Using triode VS pentode you are getting almost the same result: SE sound from PP transformer.
I call it SEPull. The name reflects functions, I like it.
