5E5. Not a 5E5-A.

Maybe try a choke on it instead of that 2.5k resistor.

--Actually--

I'd forget about a stock 5E5 - it wastes a full 12AY7 with individual jacks going to their very own grids. Use input summing resistors instead and its basically a 5E3 with a bigger PT, bigger rectifier, and 6L6's.

So, all you have to do is build another 5E3 with a bigger PT and swap the rectifier and power tubes :)
