Q & A / Re: Sunn 200s running on 6L6 tubes?!

« Last post by loudthud on April 08, 2024, 03:16:02 pm »

Those tubes are OK if that's all you can get, but output power is probably only 45 to 50 Watts. Probably needs to be checked out by a good tech.

Note: A 4 Ohm cabinet should be plugged into the "External Speaker" jack. The internal wiring should be checked to see if the amp is wired for 4 or 8 Ohm cabinets or 8 and 16 Ohm cabinets. There are pictures on this web site to check.

Q & A / Sunn 200s running on 6L6 tubes?!

« Last post by Pacafeliz on April 07, 2024, 08:16:31 am »

Hey folks, nice to be back after many years of absence!
I'm back here in Mexico and happened to pick up an old 200s, and it's working. But i did realize it has a pair of 6L6 tubes instead of KT88s - that can't be right, right? The rectifier is a 5U4.
Original owner says he's been running it like that for the last 20-30 years!
The outputs on the back are not marked what impedance they take, so i guess it's 8 and 4, right?
So my brother has a big Fender Dual Showman cab here, which should be 4 ohms, so I connected that one.
No nasty noises, good sound, but one of the power tubes was massively redplating,  so i shut it off.
Will take it back to Germany with me and get some KT88 first,  then have my tech guy check it out.

Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Pat.

Lurk,
Did you ever work out a solution to the footswtich issue? I find myself having the same lack of information. I also got nothing else from the guys over at Sunn currently as all the documentation for the Stagemaster seems to have been purged ages ago. They do have schematic info for the Beta Lead and Beta Bass, which Ive heard some folks whisper that it is similar to the Stagemaster, but could go either way. Ive also heard the Enforcer footswitch also works.

The only thing I found was an old ad on Reverb that said it takes "a standard 1/4" footswitch." Pictures of the back would seem to corroborate that. If so, that opens up your options.

IF an Enforcer footswitch would work, you might try this: https://www.dpeffects.com/2021/02/sunn-enforcer-footswitch.html

Yeah, that seems to be a commonality Im finding. Never hurts to throw a hail-mary out there and see what happens

A quick look at MacMasterP's profile reveals that he hasn't been on this forum since 2017.

Did you ever have any luck getting a schematic for this thing? If so, did you happen across the schematic for its footswitch?
