I’m not pushing the amps at the moment as a gent on here is currently after one.
Although I’ll be moving on the Brunetti head I recently bought on here…just not my thing.
Seems quite compressed which is great for some, but not the way I play.

I don't know of any other amp that claims - let alone achieves - 30W from only two EL84s, which is why I measured the Mesa... and was not surprised when I found the claim 'tenuous' . Even Peavey claiming 50W from four is pushing it.
There's an old Dynacord (German) which was supposed to give 90W from a pair, but I've never seen one. From reading about it, it was something like 800V for the HT, with the screens much lower.
MusicMan run their EL34s - or more accurately 6CA7s - at about those voltages too, but in a very unusual cathode-modulated configuration in very close to Class B, which is a trap for inexperienced techs as they have to be biased almost to cut-off - if you bias them to a 'normal' idle current they will fail very quickly, even with old-production valves.
