"Even though it has a modest output, this single ended Class-A amplifier can be used in ultralinear or triode mode. Ex Factory it ships with a pair of EL34s, but can also be used with 6550 or KT88 output tubes and it’s more of a different, than better sound. A pair of 6NP1 dual-triodes round out the tube compliment and as is, from works, we feel it works fantastic.
