Does anyone know how safe it is to replace the 6L6's with "new old stock" 6V6's on a Hot Rod Deluxe?
Thanks

Hi Ben. Even without finding the schematics(I looked), experience would tell me that NOS 6V6's wouldn't handle the plate voltage for long in this amp. Also the tube impedance is a mismatch for the output trans, it would be designed for 6L6's. Just for an experiment you could try those new 6V6's that can take 450+ volts. But you'd still have to adjust the bias. Neat idea though. Art

Thanks much. There are a lot of rumors on the internet about this but no SOLID evidence. I figured as much.
