Dumb Question inside

[Kellanium]

Are there any SMALL KT88-based tube amps on the market that DON'T cost a fortune? Because i could really use more clean headroom without breaking windows.

He's a member here i believe its new05002, he loves kt88's and can build you anything you can think up, and for complete custom you CANNOT beat his prices.

^ That!

He's building me a KT88 amp as we speak though it's not small. I guess you'd have to go single-ended as a pair puts out like 100W. Maybe KT66 would be an option too, Nick can answer all those questions.

By small what do you mean> Like volume? 2 Kt88s can easily shell 100W with large enough voltages but if you need a cleaner preamp that can be designed to be clean without being super loud on the output, even 2 6L6s can be clean, just ask any Fender amp owner

I mean, Kellanium is a bass player, which makes the KT88 request make more sense. But, I dunno, have you tried a silverface Fender? It might be just what you need.

[Holy Schnikes]

Aha, we're talking DA BASS here. Def makes more sense.

[D.o.S.]

You can increase clean headroom by switching out preamp tubes, too.

[new05002]

for bass it depends on how much ampage your going up against. A small band, 100W is fine, 2 raging 100W+ full stacks, your going to need 200-300W to maintain level with that kind of power
