May I ask if I wanna upgrade the 6V6s in my Princeton Reverb to 5581s or 6L6s, is it better to go for a larger OT and PT?
If so, shall I go with the OT and PT for Vibrolux Reverb or Twin Reverb and would there be more benefit if I go for something even larger?
Do you have any experience in Heyboer, Mercury Magnetics and Hammond OTs and PTs? Do they basically sound the same as long as the specs of the transformers are the same?
Do you think there would be a change of sound if rewiring a 110v transformer to 230v? Or using a step up transformer would yield best result for tone?
The power tubes (6V6) in the Deluxe Reverb are same as Princeton Reverb, but the Deluxe Reverb is a higher wattage amp. Are the OT and PT larger in a Deluxe Reverb than those in Princeton Reverb? If it's true, except getting louder and getting a larger headroom, would there be any other tonal change in upgrading the OT and PT of a Princeton Reverb to those in a Deluxe Reverb?
Joe Bonamassa upgraded his vintage 1964 PR with 5881 and put in his signature 12" Celestion JB-85 in there, it sounds pretty amazing!
