Trying it in one of your amps would be the best way to find out. It's hard for me to put it accurately into words, but in general it causes a loss of bass, and kind of a flat feeling, that is less responsive. I'm hoping others will have more to add.
In comparison, the 5F6A Bassman has 8uF filtering 4 trodes. And a Deluxe Reverb has 16uF for 5 triodes. (oops, make that 6 triodes)
