I'd imagine that replacing the filter caps wouldn't do any harm to the amp, then get the largest boost and fuzz pedals that you've got, and let her rip! :)

typical fare for those amps - I've got one myself, they sound shitee in stock form.  however, the transformers are really nice quality, so rewiring the thing results in a very nice amp indeed.

I'd really not bother trying to tweak it - the preamp isn't geared towards good guitar tones and the filter caps are old and tired.  Strip it down to the bare chassis and transformers then start again. 

You've got a nice pair of yellow-label Mullard EL34s in there, so you've got a headstart in the tone stakes right there.  the two ECC83s and the EF86 mean you've got plenty options to work with - a pentode (EF86) front end sounds very nice indeed as you'll know if you've ever played a Matchless DC30.  You also have a GZ34, so some tasty rectifier sag is available too.

You could build a crackin' JTM45 from that - perfect platform (better than the Kelly PA amp you have)

Awesome buy!!!!! Even if it doesn't sound great it's better value and prettier furniture than Ikea.

The main question is does it make good toast?
