Interesting. I built mine to the sIIIv6 "formula", as opposed to the Plexi. Jimmy Page's tone on that album is one of my all-time favorites! I figured I'd need to monkey around on the EL84 setting for that. It never dawned on me to use the 6V6 to try to get those tones.
As originally built, the 6V6 setting is noticably less loud (less gain?) than the EL84 side. One of the experts here pointed out a way of "correcting" this when I initially posted this news, but I sort of let it go at the time to allow the cleaner 6V6 mode to be a bigger change of pace. Now, I'm wondering that maybe I should do the mods to heat up those 6V6s. If I can only find the thread...
