I did a 5G9 about 8 or 9 years ago with a Celestion Greenback G12M 20W speaker driven through a 6K6 OT. I really liked the tones. It hasn't got anywhere near the breakup or power of a 5E3, but it still very tweedish. The LTP inverter and fixed bias 6V6 output stage deliver a more bittey kind of tone. The bias-vary trem is set up with voltages that can deliver an intense slam that is very hypnotic and it gets more interesting as you crank it. King of the tweed tremolo amps for sure.
