[QUOTE="The Rossness, post: 126133, member: 1676"] The Sig X is a 100 watt amp with 2 KT88 tubes. My question was- to keep it at 100 watts, could 2 extra tube sockets be added so insted of 2 (2) kt88's, the amps had (4) EL34's. As for the headaches and the Sig X story... Back in 2009 or so, I had a chance to play a SiGX at a studio and fell in love. It was the reason I sold my MTS rig back then, so I could buy the amp. I loved the tone and to a degree, I still do. However, every time I played the amp, it gave me a headache. It didn't seem to matter if the amp was loud or quiet. Initially, I thought it was the frequency the SigX ran at. So After 2 weeks of headaches, I sold the amp. It was unfortunate, because I really dug the tone. Fast-forward a couple of years, and I'm at a Guitar Center demoing a "DV Mark Triple Six". The Triple 6 is a Heavy Metal amp, 120 watts, powered by a pair of KT88's. I wasn't playing loud, it was a GC after all, and the amp sounded nice, but I got a big headache. It made me think that maybe my problem with the SigX wasn't the frequency the amp was using, but rather that my brain didn't like the frequency kt88 tubes ran at. I could be wrong, maybe it the headaches were coincidental, that's why I asked about the KT88 to EL34 conversion. With any other tube combo, the headaches don't happen. [/QUOTE]
