You can find a whole bunch of 6l6 (5881) amps . . . Two that I like are the Traynor ycv wr and the Kustom '36 and '72 coupe.

Another option is the Marshall JTM45/ Bluesbreaker.

On edit: plus you can easily run KT66 instead of 5881. You can also swap easily to EL34 if you want more of that EL34/EL84 vibe.

The best thing I can offer is to go on a music store tour in a big city, spending the whole weekend listening to yourself through dozens of amps. Eventually, you'll form your own conclusion about what makes you sound the best.
Then, buy THAT amp!

Do you know how to solder and follow a schematic?

If you do I would consider buying a kit from my very friendly acquittance Ted Weber.

I'm pretty sure he will ship to you and answer any questions to help you.

You could also learn to mod it to really dial in your sound. There are many choices in types of 6L6 amps. He also has transformers for foreign voltages if you don't use 120V @ 60 Hz. If you need help contact me.
