You have to be careful here, a standard 6L6 installed in a guitar amp could be overstressed. The first 6L6 tubes had a lower plate power and voltage rating then the 6L6GB and 6L6GC. Guitar amps tend to run a pretty high plate voltage and push the output tube to the max. You could destroy a good set of tubes, watch out.
