Unbelievable lows out of a six and of course great mid's and highs.)

Man, that cathode bias makes tube swapping a snap. All of my Peavey amps are cathode biased. Time to change the 6L6's? Pull 'em and replace 'em.

One note about cathode bias: When changing tubes, the manufacturer is assuming that you are installing a "matched pair" of tubes. Although this type of biasing can handle a small percentage of differences between tubes, it is best to use a set that is matched for best results.

I've been curious about that "Rebel" head with variable power up to twenty watts and can change on the fly between 6V6's and EL84's. That's a neat trick. If I didn't already have about 20 amps, maybe I could justify buying a "small" amp.

Well, it's the weekend. It's great to hear from everyone. I will probably post some more later.

He pretty much lost me with the tongue thing right off the bat though to be honest.
