Clips very easily. running the 6K6 with Rk = 680R @ 285 plate volts and a 15k load, because this is what it needs. But it still doesn't sound as good as a 6V6 @ 340V going into 8k. I might keep it traditional.

I've got heaps of 6V6s. I'm keeping my 6K6s for my own reverb units. There's quite a few for sale on fleabay.
