  You can use 6F5 but you will need to make an adaptor.

      You would have to buy an Octal base and an Octal socket and wire your own. The 6F5 has a cap so it would probably not be worth the effort as the 6SF5 tubes don't seem too hard to find or expensive

  No direct plug & play replacements. It is a high gain tube from way back. I have built a 9 pin to octal adapter & used 1/2 of a 12AX7 in the past. I like the 6SF5 in guitar amps & the Brimar CV4004 or Mullard long plate 12AX7 for home entertainment amps.
