I did not replace the PT -and don't plan to-, that's the actual voltages with the stock Special PT
One thing i love with the 6P3S, is the "6V6-like" sound, not exactly the same of course, a little more "glassy" and you get less crunch, but imo, at least in SE amps, way better than any 6l6/5881, apart from the crunch, they are more "lively" with just the perfect (at least "good") touch of compression.
Tested in the VHT SP6, see the VHT SP6 mods topic for more info (schematics etc).

6P3S-E seem to be very hard to kill, but beware, you can do a lot of crazy things with AB1 push-Pulls, not with SE or PSE.
