Can you actually pull power tubes out off a Fender Twin?

So the Twin comes... with 4 6L6 tubes to produce 85W... can you just pull two of those like in good old EL34 Marshalls and have half the Wattage?
Just askin...

Yep, pull the inside 2 or the outside 2 and disconnect one of the speakers...lowers the volume a little but it's still heavy as hell!

I've run them on one tube if you like massive crossover distortion...very cool for the jaded tonal palate.

Smoke and burned out output transformers and grid resistors.

I'm not recommending it---but I finished a set after one of the output tubes fell out of the socket. It's not a happymaking thing, but it did work...after a fashion.

No, my fingers are much too frail, and my arms are much too weak! :friday:
