Agree, Rick and I spoke about this and my MTL build for a little bit - Steve had Rick build him a 1-off 6V6 MCII on a whim for something different. Steve and I had talked about the differences in the feel of the 100w Wizards compared to the 50w and Steve started preferring the 50w as they were a bit sweeter and juicier to play. I'd assume it was that kinda vibe that led him to asking Rick to make one in 6v or Rick suggested it - nevertheless, when I'd asked Rick about building a SteveK tribute Wizard, Rick said "let's make 2 - MTL and a MCII."

You can't lay it down on a toaster

Never thought I’d let this go but, it’s time. 40w MCII built in honor of Steve King’s passing on 6/2/2019. This amp absolutely crushes - 4 - 6v6’s and has destroyed a ton of 100w amps that I’d owned and no longer own. Vader, silver Marshall knobs, blue LED. An absolute crusher!

Does this feel similar to el34’s and 6l6’s? Or is there a bit more sag to the feel?

It’s as pissed as EL34 or 6L6 but has a bit more chew in the lower mid than 34’s - it’s kinda like a lower powered amp if EL34 and 6L’s had a baby. Lots of punch too.

Sorry man, laughing at the damn toaster vid....might be the most classic RT humor ever.
 
I bet this sounds kickass.
If anyone is wondering, I have an amp with 4x6v6s. It's freaking LOUD, with more than enough headroom, balls and punch.
I wish it was this one.
