What is it? Is it kind of like a major/bass amp?

No, from what I can tell it seems like a 2 channel JCM800 type amp powered by 6x6550's. Some I've heard say they didn't care for it, but I'd still like to try one and see for myself

No, from what I can tell it seems like a 2 channel JCM800 type amp powered by 6x6550's making it 200 watts. Some I've heard say they didn't care for it, but I'd still like to try one and see for myself

Once you get one I want to get one and Hermansson it haha- the YouTube clip sounded crazy

Yeah very jealous of that one haha, but at least it went to the guy from Meshuggah

These were rated at 250w.
Insane.

And, before someone says "6550s can only put out....." No. A GE 6550 is a 42w tube.
Beast.

I can believe it. Even some 4x6550 amps I’ve had have been rated from 160-200 watts. Getting a sextet of GE 6550A’s or any US 6550’s would be tough though

They're out there. The GE 6550 is one of the few true amazing sounding old school tube that, if you shop around have still remained reasonably priced vs say a vintage Mullard 34.

Hopefully if you find one of these amps, they still have the original GE 6550s in there.
