I have a Varmint 250XL that I am going to use as a driver for a 4 tube 572B.
The 572B amplifier only needs 100 watts to excite it to full power.
The Varmint has a Hi and Lo power switch. On hi it does 250 watts and on low it does 70 watts.
I can tune and load the amp on high to only do 100 watts but I'm not sure if that is recommended. Should a tube amp always be tuned and loaded to it's maximum power to operate properly? Will de-tuning it hurt the tubes or other components?
I need an online elmer.
