I've had a few Ceriatone amps, and they were all decent sounding. I have had power transformer failures in two of them though.

I get the impression that the Mini Jube is more impressive in head/cab format than combo, possibly down to the Greenback speaker as the amp was designed around the V30.
6v6s might not sound identical to EL34s, but cathode-biased EL34s don't sound exactly like fixed-bias EL34s either so I'd say either can be a useful approach. I've no experience of the Ceriatone amps, but I have built a couple of DIY Marshall-ish amps, one with 6v6s in fixed bias and the other a standard EL34 50 watter with the same preamp and phase inverter, and I reckon the core tone is not wildly different between the two.
When I tried a bassbreaker 7 head the experience was a thumping wet fart. Noisy, bassy, flat sounding, no chime, no spank and utterly lifeless.
That said my inability to budget successfully despite being a father & homeowner well into his 40s does mean it's probably for sale..
