Just tried the KT66 with the Celestion Blue in my 5E3 and my missus came out to tell me it was a bit loud for 10pm.. Sounded really fawesome!

I’ve put the 6K6 back in anyway. Have also ordered the replacement boost caps.

Thanks for all your help! :)

Funny you should mention that, my supplier said they only had a 50v for the .47 he said that as that part of the circuit should only ever see a small voltage it would be OK. There’s my problem you reckon?

Edit. All other parts were to spec voltage wise, just a couple of minor value changes.

When you say the base of the 1.5k which end do you mean? It looks like it’s the left and centre lug of input and centre pin for boost to be grounded (which it isn’t).

Thanks.
