Yeah, the Metroamp PT will run some EL34s. I believe many people have done so. People have made JTM50s by replacing the rectifier with a SS bridge and using EL34s. Someone else will need to tell you which output transformers to use though :wink:

Wicksy is right. If you want to build is pseudo JTM 50, let us know. We can swap the 784-103 (JTM 45) output trans for the 784-139 (50 watt) and EL34's in place of the KT66's.

Disclaimer: this means you have to use the 50 watt wiring colors. Not a big deal, but important that I mention it.
