old Guild bass combo and 7591's ?

Question:

I’ve become the owner of last resort of a Guild Maverick bass combo. chassis says rated at 20watts. Uses 2 7591’s push pull in output. I’m working on tracing out a schematic for it since I couldn’t find anything on the net. Any opinions of these tubes vs the more ’standard’ Guitar amp tubes and guild amps in general? got some new tubes on the way so I’ll get to play through it soon.. One tube was blown and it needed some work to get it safe to power up. soon as I get a chance I’ll post the schematic.

Nothing wrong, per se, with 7591’s for a guitar amp.  But at 20 watts, it seems like you are barely waking them up!  You want to think about modifying the amp for 6V6’s?. Do a little maintenance on it and find out how many watts it really is.
