Rick,
The 6K6 and cap change don't make much difference unless you've got the
settings up high. That's when the reissues go into "ice pick" mode, and
have an unpleasant harshness. The lower gain tube (you can also swap a
12AT7 for the 12AX7) and the cap take a bit of the edge off. It's a subtle
change, but anyone in direct line of fire of the speakers will be happier.
If you're not playing in the ice pick zone, you may not notice much of a
difference.

Subject: [SurfGuitar101] reissue reverb
So, I just took my first step in the reissue world. A friend of mine
was unloading a reissue reverb unit and I decided to take it off
his hands. Took it home, plugged it in and it sounded pretty darn
good.
I know everyone talks about doing the mod to them, and I had a
few 6K6's around so I popped one in (an old RCA). Still sounded
pretty darned good, but I couldn't tell what I really gained. The
next step would be the cap change.
My question is, what is the benefit of the cap change? What
difference would I expect?
