I never have either. I'm still kicking around whether to go fixed or cathode-biased and which PI to use as well as mulling a CF-driven tone stack. I guess I'd have a 5F6A front end with a 6V6 output, sort of. I was just wondering if the Mission PT supports the extra 12AX7. 5F4 sounds cool too.
Yes, an extra 12AX7 will be nearly invisible to the PT and, you can run a pair of 5881s with that 15W OT if you keep the idle current down to 32-36ma for each tube.
The OT is under rated at 15 watts from 40Hz to 7.5KHz. It can easily handle +22 watts at most guitar freqs.
I use the same MA 20W PT in a lightly loaded 6L6 amp with four 12AX7s and an OT about the size of a Pro Reverb.
Never had a problem with that set up yet.
