Yo! I'm about to start using my rack on a regular basis again
and that means I'll be running through my MT-200; Microtube power amp. So, for those of us who have one, or those who are just interested in finding one, here are the answers to common questions about them.
Q: Can I run one side at a time?
A: Yes. The two sides are independent of each other
Q: If I run only one side, how many watts is it?
A: The manual says 100w at 4 ohms per side, somebody smarter than me can tell me what the rating is into 8 ohms or 16.
Q: Is it stereo??
A: Yes. Because the two channels are independent (as mentioned above)
Q: What kind of tubes should I run?
A: Oh boy. Whatever you like. It's a very subjective topic of much deliberation. I went with very clean, low noise 12ax7 tubes...not sure what brand. I didn't like tubes intended for high gain preamps. (just my taste, ymmv)
I have more...I'll update this post later, gotta run
