YOUR CHOICE OF PUNCH. EL34, 6L6, OR 6V6 POWER

Need versatility? The TC-50 features our handy BIAS SWITCH allowing you to swap the stock compliment of EL34s with the fatter, rounder sounding 6L6. For those who want a warmer, rounder response and more easily attainable power clip, 6V6s can also be used in the EL34 setting with a direct swap over, creating a “Half-Power” scenario that exudes a more bubbly, vintage voice and creamier top end harmonic content.

Bias Select Switch gives you the power to choose EL34, 6L6 or 6V6 Power Tubes
