    I use this site a lot to determine valve types:
    6X4, Tube 6X4; Röhre 6X4 (6X4)
    Google "radiomuseum 5y3gt"

    Just type in the numbers one at a time after "radiomuseum"
    They often give circuit examples.

    To the best of my knowledge,only the 5Y3 is used in any guitar amp I've seen.It is a rectifier,usually used in small Champ type amps,or amps of up to 20 watts or so,like the Tweed Deluxe.
