Disregard that hack O’Connor, hell, he’s even advocated putting Sovtek 6V6s
into 6L6 Fenders, shows how much that idiot knows. “TUT” my ass. More like
“The Ultimate Hack”.

Now, with all that said, I would advise extreme caution in putting 6L6s into a
6V6 amp unless you’re damn sure the power transformer can take the additional
heater load. Now, in the specific case of a Fender Deluxe Reverb, YES, the
power transformer can indeed take the additional load safely. I’ve been
running the small-bottle 6L6s in my 64 DR for YEARS. No problems at all. I
know several others who have done the same with identical results. Go for it,
but remember that a rebias is essential.
