With the description: "The heart of this design is its matched pair of KT66 power tubes paired with an ultra linear output transformer as they were originally intended to be. The Antidote is the only way to experience the unique tone this combination produces in a current production amp."
What is the Route 66 then. What type of transformer does it have. The above statement implies that the Route 66 is not using the KT66 as it was intended to be?

Good post, edo.
I've often wanted for somebody to get on here and compare/contrast the Route 66 and Antidote.

I've owned, loved, and miss each one. I esp. miss the 'Dote.
I'll compose my thoughts and post something (hopefully) useful at lunch today LOL

I believe the Doc likened the difference between the Route 66 and the Antidote to be similar to the relationship between a Tweed Deluxe and a Deluxe Reverb. Or in other words—for those of you who like standardized tests: Route 66 : Antidote :: Tweed Deluxe : Deluxe Reverb If anybody could find that thread for me, please feel free to post a link... EDIT: here it is.

I believe the Route 66 is ultra linear. It's supposed to be the best way to to take advantage of the kinkless design in the KT66 tubes.
