AC30, TW, all DR Z, Matchless, BadCat amps all are class AB amps with silly overbiased EL84.
"Class A" marketing hype on these tube eaters ;)
I pushed my 2xel84 amp down to 265 volts on the plate via a dropper off the rectifier. 44ma each. Not even close to class A per the scope. Lot's of BS about A out there. If a new car said it was turbo charged but wasn't, would they get away with it for long?
If it says "Vintage" on it, -it isn't.
