wanting to add tube rect to a little guitar combo amp (Fender Blues Jr.) which uses two el84's and two and one half 12ax7'swhat's the diff between the 5y3 and 5y3gt (GT is full wave and ??..)
am I ok to use either one?
also,, sag is most desirable.. any other recommendation?
Follow Ups:
would a 6v4, or 6x4 work for this amp??
6V4 or 6X4 would be fine, as would 6X5 if you want octal. These will give a little more voltage than 5Y3.
Hi Fatcobra. Yes, both are full wave rectifiers and either one will suffice. Look for a bendix 6106 as a better sounding alternative. All the best on your endevour.
