KT66

[OnTheCorner]

Myles, I originally asked this question on the guitar forum. So, if you reply here first, of course, don't answer twice and thanks for responding to my earlier question. Can KT66s be used in a Peavey Prowler? I know it's a cheap PCB amp, but it sounds good and I only paid $320 new.

KT-66's can be used in any amp that originally was using 6L6's or 5881's. You do need to rebias, as they are different in some aspects.

 

They also need to be able to fit. They were used as an example in the Marshall Mod 1962 Bluebreaker, but the reissue was made 9" or so deep while the original was 12" or so deep, so they will not fit in a reissue.

 

Normally, for questions so I do not miss them, I normally send folks this:

 

I have been getting a lot of mail or questions in the Harmony Central forums. I have an obligation for Guitar Player Magazine, and their forum first, and its been getting a little hard to keep everything organized, so if you don't mind, can you just cut and paste your question in this forum or from your email over at www.musicplayer.com in the guitar area.

 

This way, it also helps others benefit from what you may have asked, and it forms something of a FAQ list.
