Interesting. The 6G9 Tremolux usually came with a 1x10" tone ring cab.
I haven't kept count but I think I've seen three with the 2x10 cab.

It's a super rare amp...for a reason. It totally abuses the 6BQ5 tubes. No idea what Leo was thinking.
"EL84" is the British name for the American 6BQ5. Nobody in the US called them EL84s until the AC30 became trendy again in the 90's
I wouldn't be surprised. I have a transitional 6G6 (solid state rectifier, but 6G6 circuit with 8-ohm OT) that came from the factory with the small Bassman cab but at 4-ohm (2x12") instead of the usual small cab with 1x12" and tone ring. With Fender, anything goes.I haven't kept count but I think I've seen three with the 2x10 cab.

Yeah - bought the head and then restored it to what I liked. This was when I was deep into my Setzer Tone period.Looks like a "Fender Electric Inst", so a 6G6B?
Great amps for sure.
Sweet!! The complete Setzer tone also requires a Roland Space Echo!Yeah - bought the head and then restored it to what I liked. This was when I was deep into my Setzer Tone period.
1963 Fender Bassman Face Lift | GAD's Ramblings
As I wrote in, How to Capture Brian Setzer’s Tone, I bought a 1963 Fender Bassman head in my quest for tonal nirvana. In a further attempt to deliver the goods, I bought a barely used Mojoton 2×12 cabinet. Though this combination sounded good, it looked like it had been pieced together from...www.gad.net

Not a good idea to try and get 30 Watts out of a pair of EL84s! Better to do like Vox who got half that power from a pair and used four to get 30 Watts.It's a super rare amp...for a reason. It totally abuses the 6BQ5 tubes. No idea what Leo was thinking.
