I've been using my PTP re-wired Deluxe Reverb for quite some time now and I'm still using the original tubes/valves it was supplied with. All JJ Telsa tubes/valves.

It's started to become quite noisey at louder volumes - a strong hiss - but plays fine and sounds pretty good.

Mike who built the amp supplied me with a pair of JJ6V6s and a pair of JJ6L6s. He also a SS rectifier plug.

I'm going to switch out the 6V6s for the 6L6s and try the SS rectifier too. Should I wait until I get my preamp tubes/valves or will I be OK to just change the power amp side for now?

Any advice welcome.

Peter
