Dude,
I have a 5E3 D'lux clone. I use a Syl 5851, 12Ay7, JJ 6V6 power tubes and a NOS GE 5y3 rectifier.
Question:
Are you sure you should be using that GZ34 rectifier with the 6V6 power tubes? I use a GZ34 when I switch to 6L6GCs tubes.


I had some NOS Fender tubes in there at first that sounded great but recently replaced them with the JJs which sound even better. Real nice smooth breakup.

I'm no expert, but I found that the preamp tube combination contributes a lot more to the tone characteristics. If you go to one of the tube sights it will tell you the difference in output characteristics for 12AX7 vs AY7. etc...

JJs!!
