ESP32 PWM and TIP41C

My apologies if the title is ambiguous.
I'm trying to use the ESP32 to generate a PWM signal and use that to drive a H-Bridge. Considering the low power output of ESP32 I am planning on using TIP41C to provide the H-Bridge the necessary gate voltage. I will ultimately end up using a driver IC but I'm trying to determine if what I'm doing is possible or completely wrong.
My question is:
If I use an oscilloscope at TP1 or TP2 what kind of PWM signal should it read?
Would the signal have a higher Vpp?
