If you have a cathode bias amp it is never going to sound exactly like a grid bias unit. Some of it is design, and some of it is component values in the preamp. I don't know if you can go back to 6V6s, but if so they will net you better treble response (brighter) IMO than 6L6s ever will.
Have you spoken to the amp maker for their recommendations?

I am really digging this amp now after understanding more on how the dynamic controls work. I do like the SF/Black Face amps, but for tubey blues overdrive this amp is amazing. I am just trying to get a decent bright/clean sound out of this amp so I don't have to use 2 amps when I gig.
