M/J	Re: 6v6 question John, Would the use of a 5Y3 in a Deluxe reverb drop the B+? If it will how many volts? Also will it effect the tone and voltage sag of the amp? I am currently running a 5V4 in the rectifier of a 73 DR. The sound is cleaner than some of the other DR's I have heard. If I put a 5AR4 in there my voltage jumps to around 440v@25ma. I'd like to get the voltage down to around the 410 to 420 range @25ma. Is this possible? Will the 5Y3 hurt the amp at all? M/J
