It does not seem possible to use a "valve-spec" 3.5k:8 OPT in the schematic as shown.

Looks like a LTP connected to a transformer to me. Is it valve spec? Only research would tell but the fact, I think, the fact is that inductor is going to have an effect on the tone that is different then a strictly resistive output from a transistor and there should be some 2nd order harmonics from the transformer.

Just want to verify where the 3.5k OPT figure came from...
