Default 2X2 as amplifier rectifier

Dear friends

The 2X2 tube is usable as amplifier rectifier ?
Can I use a pair in a tube power supply ?

Thanks,

Aldovan

No, forget about it. A 2X2 is a high voltage rectifier but for low current applications like CRTs and TR switches. It also has a high voltage drop near 90 volts.
