Changing the output of a 100w SL

Is it true that you can just remove the two outside power tubes in your quartet to lower the output of a 100w Plexi?

Or, you could just say, yes it's true. :wink:

Whether you like the sound or not? Different proposition altogether.......

Your not getting much of a volume reduction either. A couple dbs. Sounds less then one click on a hotplate to me. But it does change the tone noticably which is why I dont do it.
