Under what circumstances is the 5R4 a suitable sub for a 5U4, 5V4, how it change the amps gain, and/or voltage the voltage going to the power section. I have one of those  big based military 5R4's & while some minor changes and/or rebiasing may be in order, what am I looking at, & is there audible change, sag, tightness,,, whatever?

Thanks all & stay safe!!

yes.

I personally never have change out a rectifier in a guitar amp. Whatever Leo Fender, Jim Marshall, or Dr Z put in was fine with me.

Most of the time I just play the damn thing, and I'm good with it. Changed Pre amp tubes and some power tubes.

 

Then again I'm not that crazy.
