Seen anyone do this? Or would this basically be a Route 66?!?

Rt 66 is ultralinear, I think, so not entirely.
I was actually considering the same thing - maybe feed one input of the pi with the stock jtm45 preamp and the other with an ef86 channel, but then you lose the presence control, maybe something like this:

Yes, that would work real nice.

Now this is neat. I wanted a JTM45. But with an EF-86. thi gets more fun. What were those other tubes you said were better, ZP.

Could it be simplified even more? Use one input jack to parallel to both sides of a 12AX7 with an 18W normal channel Vol/Tone setup, another to feed the EF86 with Vol. and a DC30 rotary tone switch (with a CF to normalize the output level in line with that of the 12AX7), then the power section?
I'm drooling at the thought of glassy EF86 tones on top of glassy KT66 tones...
