You need to adjust the idle bias of the amp. For any set of 6L6GC's. Do you have access to a bias tool? One that reads idle current (in mV) and plate voltage is nice. The adapter goes between the socket and the tube.

I have a multimeter, but not an adapter..found potential sources on-line, presuming this is what I'd need...the first one seems the better choice, as it all reads plate voltage.
