Which power tubes are used for each wattage setting? I know that at 30, it's all of the power tubes. At 15 watts is it the outside pair???????????? and for 5 watts is it the power tube on the far left or the far right ?????????? (facing the back of the amp)
 
For 15w and 5w it's the inside pair. In 5w both inside tubes are active but one is shorted at the input. I don't know which one is shorted but both tubes are required to complete the connection and maintain the same impedance to the OT.

Sorry to contradict you, but according to the manual:

"15 watt setting runs only the outside........pair of tubes............The 5 watt setting uses 1 x EL84 (far left facing rear)".

Anyone ever rotated the EL84 tubes in their Lonestar Special?
