Send an EMail to Steve Oda; he's are resident guitar amp expert.You will have to change the circuits to use different type O/P tubes. For the EL84s, EI, Sovtek, and JJ are currently producing tubes. For the 6V6s, NOS seems to be the way to go. If you are willing to DIY 7 pin to octal adapters, you can try the 6AQ5 in place of the 6V6. The 6AQ5 is electrically equivalent to the 6V6; how it will sound has to be determined.
