Hi guys,

Thinking on building another sIII. Its my favorite of all the 18's Ive built. TMB, tremelo etc...

I want to try the V6 version. Whats the tonal diff? More headroom. less gain?

Hi coco. been a while, been off on another tangent! CNC stuff, faceplates and some mic pre's....

Want to get back to building amps though.

v6 is great. Less gain in 6V6 mode, volume, cleaner, but there are ways to drive the 6V6s harder to match the EL84. (PI drive resistor etc.). I like to flip the boost on in 6V6 mode! :D

Did you get switching working with a footswitch so you can switch between O tubes?
