Reissue Deluxe Rev PT B+?

2/20/2000 3:47 AM
Sam	Reissue Deluxe Rev PT B+? Hello all, I have a near mint (original RCAs, crappy Oxford speaker) '75 Deluxe Reverb that's putting out 450 volts on the plates (with a 5U4 rect. tube). I realize that there are plenty of NOS 6V6s still available, but I really like the sound and feel of 6V6 amps under 400 volts on the plates. I'm not into hacking this amp up, and the zener trick will only lower the voltage to about 400 at best. Is the Reissue Deluxe Reverb PT of a considerably lower B+ than the usual silverface spec.? I'm looking for a transformer solution that's as near a drop-in solution as possible. Any ideas? Sam
