Works good, is a common upgrade for guitar amps. I use fast 1A, 1kV diodes to establish the ground. I put this mod in a Blues Deluxe and it actually got rid of the rectifier buzz that was audible at full volume. I suppose you could use even fancier soft recovery diodes. If you install a 3A 5V filament transformer then you can try various 5V rectifiers. 5AU4 tube is robust and a bargain.
