Re: trainwreck clone goes to a gig quote: "BW had experimented with a pot instead of the fixed 150k grid load resistor for the 3rd stage... a 250k (audio?) pot should work great there! (Lots of posts mentioned using grid load resistors as low as 33k there; with your pot you can dial in whatever value you want!)"     The only problem I found with a bigger pot is it's much harder to dial in(sweet spot is really small). I currently running a 150K resistor and a 25K pot--pot too small IMHO. A 50K and a 120K resistor would probably be perfect for the amp I have setup w/.002 cap. Maybe a 100K pot would work well also, finding a real clone reacts differently than the one I built in the bassman's bass channel. That reacted dramatically to the pot, wheras the "Redeye Express" doesn't have the definate hardstops to good tone.     bw
