I know this is stupid, but I really like the Emerald color of the KT88 Studio 10... KT88's can they be changed out with the EL34 in this amp?

The tube change might need some components changed to achieve the proper output tube bias, but such technical details aren't released by Blackstar.

The case designs are so close, I would be surprised if you couldn't swap out the amp chassis's between the two to get the color you want with the amp you want.

It would be cheaper to buy a couple cans of a flexible coating and spray the cab.
