Ok to use KTxx tubes in Egnater MOD amps?

I would say the answer is yes.
The “workhorse” of the Egnater Modular product line. The Tweakers Paradise. This “full featured” little powerhouse is available as a head, a 1x12 combo or a 2x12 combo. Choose from our broad range of modules. The MOD50 lets you footswitch between any two. In addition, you can footswitch between the channel A mode (gain and master) and channel B mode (gain and master) within each individual module effectively creating a four channel amp. The MOD50 has two separate tube buffered effects loops, one series and one parallel (with a mix control) that can be used individually or simultaneously. An optional spring reverb can be ordered (uses the parallel loop). The MOD50 has a front panel high power/standby/low power switch allowing you to select between the robust 50 watt mode or the softer, spongier 20 watt mode. The power amp can accept virtually any tube such as 6L6/5881, EL34, 6550, 6CA7 and many other similar types, with a simple external bias adjustment. Master Volume, Density and Presence controls round out the front panel. Great tone, a really cool look, a myriad of useful features and 30 years of tone tweaking have created an amp that will never become obsolete….the MOD50.

You can use those tubes, and just stay in the 35-42mV range. It's ok to go up to about 45mV on the KT88's though.
