I like the 12AY7 input, dual 5U4GA Bassman. Quite unique tone. Chieftain has a bit more modern tone. Maybe, due to Matchless use of Mills resistors in the circuit. And Jupiter style coupling caps.
Guess it depends out what product you are after. The coke bottle tube Fender tweeds have a unique tone, that is a big part of a lot of famous recordings. Hard to duplicate that tone with pedals and fingers.
I think those 1940-50s 6L6GA tubes are under-rated. Warmer mids than the later 6L6GC. Kinda mix of a good 6V6GT and 6L6GC.
