   Sorry to not get back to you on this sooner,   but no I haven't really thought anymore on the subject of 6V6's in the Overtone.  You can be the first.  You may stike gold....who knows???lol...

I am not going to do anything yet. Do you mean the bias resistor because that is what I might have to change to get the range for the 6v6. I don't know a lot so this isn't something I will do right away but I will try it. Right now I am running GT el34ls's and I don't have a patch cable in the effects loop. My tubes are not a perfect match but I have to say this is one nice amp, I have never had anything like this before. My personal opinion, at least for now, I just got the amp so things will change, is that the el34ls's sound better to my ear than the JJ 6l6gc's. Oh and I am sorry I missed your reply, I didn't see it until now.

You won't need to change anything.  There is plenty of range in the bias pot.  Again, just do your homework on the impedance mis-match.  FWIW, after months of using 6L6's in the D'lite I tried the 6V6's again and ...nope...back to 6L6's.

The skyliner mod is a serie of mods, ic racer on this forum posted it detailed.
According to Robben Ford's amp tech, when checking this amp(with skyline mod) with a scope, you see on the scope something that looks like the skyline of a big city.

I've seen a few of you mention a patch cable in the FX loop. What's that all about? I'm getting close to completion and am itching real bad to fire this thing up. Am I going to have to keep a cable in the loop jacks in order to get sound? Or am I not understanding what you're talking about? Thanks in advance. Huh?

270pf/220k filter  in the loop is in any older model OTS. If you like to bypass the filter you can use a cable. Or remove the 270pf/220k filter. In both ways you will have sound Shocked
