Can I replace a power tube in a guitar amplifier without matching it to the existing power tubes?

bert asked:


I just bought a vintage amps and 3 Mullard EL34 's but is missing the fourth. I read that if I get a quarter and don 't get the combination that will compete against the existing pipes. Finally I want to get tied quarter pipe and the other 3 test but I want to turn the amps to make sure that is working properly while it is before the investment in new pipes. Is it right to play with it in low volumes with just the 3 tubes and / or can get away with putting in an inexpensive EL34 in the empty slot to play for a little while before getting the fourth combined Mullard?
