6L6 in SF Deluxe Reverb

OLAF MELCHER · June 14th, 2009, 01:42 PM

Hi,

did anybody experience 6L6 tubes in a SF Deluxe Reverb (BF circuit however). Is it possible to run the amp with those tubes without damaging it and how does it affect tone ? Shall bias be reajusted at the usual lvel of say 420v on the plates ?

Thanks in advance.

I have done this a couple of times. Sometimes I go back to the 6v6 then I try the 6l6 again. At the moment I'm back to 6V6 as I have also found a sfdr in which someone did a more permanent 6l6 mod (it is reversible though). The 6L6 conversion will clean it up somewhat and make it a touch louder, but not outrageously louder.
