Hi Steve,
Tube rectifiers are not normally run from the 6v filament supply, as
this would put the whole filament supply at B+ potential.
Normal tubes in a guitar amp allow a maximum filament to cathode
potential of 100V to 200V, so this would rule this one out....
Maybe a seperate transformer would be a better idea???
HTH,
Duncan
