Stevie used a 5751 in V-1 instead of a 12AX7.

That is correct. I use NOS tubes and have never used Groove Tubes.

5881s are output tubes. They're equivalent to a 6L6GB. Your Twin has four 6L6GC tubes. 5881s will put out less power and will break up a little sooner, but you want to make sure that they will survive the high voltages in the Twin Reverb.

Contact Mike at http://www.kcanostubes.com for advice on the most suitable power tubes for your tone.

The 5751 is a preamp tube, and it just goes into V1. The 5751 was there to "soften the blow" from SRV's .013 - .056 strings and heavy attack.
