2 Watt 1.5k grid resistor?

Post by arfy »

The schematic I'm looking at shows the 1.5k resistor standing up at pin 5 on the power tube sockets as 2 Watt resistors, I'm used to seeing regular old 1/2 watt resistors in that spot, like the ones Fender uses, usually installing it from pin 1 to pin 5.
Is the 2 Watt value right? Can anyone explain why?

I use 1/2W for grid resistors. There is no current draw, so I don't know whay 2W would be used other than "that's what was on hand."
