You are right!!!!Typically, the 6v6 can spit out 11 watts a pop!
How do they account for the missing 6 watts!!!!!!


We must know!!!

Yeah, we wouldn't want it to be confused with the "Rocket" 44 by Mesa!

Yeah, probably true that it doesn't put out quite the full 50w clean, though it should be well over that figure fully driven. (The exact power output will depend on exact valves used, the plate voltages and biasing set up.) But by pushing the valves just a little above their spec, or by stating the power output at a slightly higher than normal distortion figure you could easily enough get 50watts.

To be totally honest I don't think there is much point in getting hung up on a couple of watts here or there. Very few amps put out EXACTLY the power on the label...
