View Full Version : Guyatone Bass Man ??? output impedance

I purchased (for probably too much) a Guyatone Bass Man amp that looks and sounds fenderish with a very similiar component layout. There are a few differences from a fender bassman but it is two channels with master volume and no effects with a 4 6l6 tube compliment. Now my only concern is that the output impedence isn't marked anywhere and I don't know what it should be. I have been running it through an 8 ohm cabinet with no apparent problems but I like to have some comfirmation before I run it like that for too long. Has anybody had one of these and knows what the impedance would be. I know I can figure it out by running a signal through the output transformer but if someone knows it would save me some time. Thanks in advance, Doc LowLow.

Hi ,

I happen to have a Guatone Twin copy and I like it very much.
Well before that I changed quite a lot but I can say that with four 6L6es you have most likely an 8 ohms output.
