Well, you could always add stages to get 4, BUT I would think the biggest drawback to this would be the notorius nature of 6sl7's to be extremely microphonic... so yu find a couple that aren't.. first time you stomp on it too hard, or drop your bag full of goodies, you might as well kiss the low-microphonics of your 'selected' tubes goodbye... in othre words, if we are talking rackmount studio fuzz box, that wont get banged around, I think go for it!.. but stompbox, i'd be REALLY scared to try that
