Is there anybody with an idea about running the DC5 with a pair of 6V6s instead of 6L6s?
Of course it's about taming the power ...
Thanks or any suggestion!

Re: DC5 A with 6V6s?
Check out the Master Volume Mod thread, or the DC Mods threads.
There is a resistor that is in parallel with your Output Volume knob.
If the resistor is removed (or bypassed with a push/pull pot like my amp has), then the amp is much more tame.
I think 6V6's would just take away a lot of the girth, but still be almost as loud.
I don't like to remove the option of having the resistor across the knob because it adds a LOT of aggression to the amp!
Try the push/pull pot, you'll like it!

Amp techs do get shocked.
Re: DC5 A with 6V6s?
I think the 6v6 pair has a different voltage input and different ohm output. You may be able to do it with Yellow Jacket converters.
But, I HAVE put an EL34 pair in mine with no mods. It gave it a little more sizzle.
