Tube radio as guitar amp + valvecaster pedal

I just used my old tube radio as a guitar amp and hooked up the homemade valvecaster "pedal" to it.

The pedal circuit is made inside a tuna can and uses a 12AU7 / ECC82 vacuum tube, working on 9v / 12v DC. It has 3 controls ( vol, tone and gain ).

Important advice: never play a guitar in a tube radio before checking if the chassis is energized (hot). If you are not familiar with electronics, You can do a simple test with a "phase test light" (search on google), to check if the chassis or the guitar cable is energized before playing.

Have you modified the radio circuit to play with the guitar? Thanks

Does the radio have an alnico speaker ?

So is the pedal adding a tube to the radio? Or what does the pedal do?
