Title: kt 88 O/P load
Post by: ernie_jr on February 18, 2014, 01:00:10 pm

Will KT 88's work with an O/P with a 3300 primary. It will be running about 550 volts on the plates.
Thanks,
Ernie

I run them with a 3k4 with no problems, but it is a guitar amp.  Not sure if you will lose anything on the bottom end, but to my ear they sound good.  Plates are 515.

Thanks Ed,
always glad for your input. I figure is marshall can run about 36k for their bass amps 3300 (actually 3333) it should work ok.
