The coupling of the phase inverter and power tubes is also important, since certain types of coupling arrangements ( e . g . transformer coupling ) can drive power tubes to class AB2, while some other types can't.
22.
Its features include two EL84 tubes, three 12AX7 tubes, two of the three function the preamp, reverb send and return, and tremolo oscillator, while one 12AX7 serves as the long-tail phase inverter of the amp.

While the product was designed around a centered printed circuit board ( PCB ), an aspect sometimes considered " impure " among audiophiles, its cascading five preamps ( actually four preamplifiers and one phase inverter ) and four tube amplifiers were implemented in a very simple manner.

The Peavey 5150 I shipped with four Ruby Tube 6L6 Power Tubes, and five 12AX7 Tubes in the preamplifier staging ( with one as a phase inverter . ) Despite its shared " plain " PCB, each component was generally high quality, allowing manufacturing ease while providing high quality tone at an affordable price.
25.
These amplifiers shared nearly identical circuits, with two ( or four ) 5881 / 6L6GC tubes in fixed-bias Class AB configuration, long-tailed pair phase inverters, and dual " normal " and " vibrato " channels with independent volume and tone controls; the models were differentiated only by cabinet / speaker configurations, transformers, and rectifiers.
26.
This " brownface " version used a single 7025 dual triode in the preamplifier; a 12AX7 dual triode, one half of which operated a tremolo oscillator and the other half of which served as a split-load phase inverter; and two 6V6GT tubes, which were fixed-biased in Class AB push-pull configuration in the power section.

A fixed-bias output stage and split-phase inverters helped the Super overdrive more quickly than the Fender Bassman and produce a sound that, according to " Vintage Guitar "'s Dave Hunter, " in the estimation of many a vintage-amp fan, is among the sweetest and most delectable of any amp ever made ."

The " Tweed " 5F10 model, launched in 1955, but not in time for the Fender catalog of that year, was a 10-watt amplifier utilising a 6AV6 ( from 1956 a 6AT6 ) preamplifier tube, 12AX7 phase inverter tube, a pair of 6V6GT power amplifier tubes, and one 5Y3GT rectifier tube, with a Jensen P10R 10-inch speaker.
