Can I use KT88's in my Mark IV?

Well, if you took six KT66s and subtracted 9 EL34s you get KT90(I'm not going to explain how you get this because the circuit analysis is over your head). But suffice it to say that it will equal a KT88 with a little extra distortion and maybe some ghost notes.

I don't have any EL34's, how would it work out if I used EL84's instead?

Where is the preamp section? I removed all the knobs from the face of the amp and still don't see it.

Look for the little light bulbs.
 
Are you asking even though you already know that you know that you dont want to know? That you know?

Sure, but you`ll need more EL84`s

EL34*EL84=EL2856

i.e, you`ll get 2856 watts out of the MKIV is you run it this way.
You`ll need another cab then.

This is just silly. NOBODY needs that kind of wattage. You guys are nuts.
