I have experimented with swapping various ECC8x valves in guitar amp circuits. They will work to an extent. The ECC81 was sometimes used in the phase splitter position, an ECC83 worked just as well.
So long as they have a centre tap and are pin compatible, which the 81, 82 & 83 are, they should work.
You have to remember this is a guitar amp so its not science but art, you need to experiment and make your own unique sounding distortion, in order to get a guitar to really sing. (I dont play an instrument but I like experimenting)
