Gavin, this will save you some work. I (and many others) have already desgined, built, and use single-ended EL84 amps. There's no need for you to reinvent the wheel.
Here's my attempt at it, and I used it every day for 2 years, until I made my 71A amp. It is a good amp, and will work well for you.

Hi,
Since:
a)I doubt you need the high gain of the 12AX7A...
b)That is not a very linear tube...
c)I would use something like a ECC99 or 6H30,a 6SN7 would be fine too.
d)You probably use a preamp with gain to burn anyway...
Yes,and from what I understand that is how he wants it.

Hi,
One of the better noval tubes...like it...so does David Manley.
It is one that is reasonably linear and still has a lot of gain + a lowish output impedance.
I would understand if you don't want to use its' octal counterpart the 6SL7 which sounds even better....since you're using the noval EL84/6BQ5.
I assume you're talking about the 6BQ5?
Well the screen is tied to the cathode in triode mode...that's why they don't mention it.
Ciao,

Gavin,
If you're interested in making it exactly like mine, http://www.angela.com has 5755's for 89 cents each!
It is raytheon's 9-pin version of a 6SL7. I had no trouble with the ones I bought.

Hi,
Just had a look at the datasheet.
It seems a fine tube to me.
Full credit to Joel for digging it up...ssssht,let's keep it under wraps or the price may skyrocket.
It seems to fit the bill perfectly so if you can lay your hands on a dozen it would last you a lifetime.
And at a buck a pop?
Very few tubes can be had for that kind of money nowadays...and this is actually one you can put to good use!
Now if it has graphite plates I'd get some for my stash anyway.
Thx Joel,
