Hi makinrose
There are a couple of ways to deal with this type of inverter and SUS.
The first option is to add a coupling cap into the first half of the splitter, then add a grid leak to this grid that would connect to SUS pin-4, with the 6V6 plates tied to pins 1 and 2. This controls the signal through the whole power amp.
Another option is to allow SUS to control just the grid-leak of the second 6V6 by lifting only the single nontapped grid-leak. This may result in a reduced effect.
A further option is to provide a separate path between the first and second triode and add a nontapped grid-leak for the upper 6V^, then make the standard SUS connection for a cathode-biased amp.
if you made the standard SUS connection in the Fender Deluxe 5B3, the signal to the second triode would be modulated in addition to the grids of the 6V6s, with the possibility of either a slightly reduced effect, a slightly increased effect, or something a little different altogether - certainly worth a try if only to hear what it does.
