No. In my experience, I could not turn up the controls to get that big wet
splashy sound without venturing into harshness territory. After switching to
NOS tubes (and again, I think the swapping of the 6V6 with a 6K6 is the big
impacter here) I had more range of useful reverb. I had to turn the controls
up more to get the same reverb as before, but the harshness was now gone.
