Dave M.	Re: Marshall bias voltage (?) Trace, Speed and I have exchanged some e-mail. Primarily about the 220k vs. my 82k bias splitters. As far as converting the bias section to EL34 spec's; what components are included? I'm guessing the 220k before the diode, then the 15k between the filters, the 47k, and the trim pot. Anything else, or something particular to those I mentioned? FWIW, those are the resistor values in my amp, and the EL34 schem's that I've seen. One possible noteworthy difference is that I recently replaced the filters; the new ones are 10uf/150 volt (the old ones were 10uf/160 volt). -Dave p.s. How do you guys break up the replies and show the replied-to text in italics? Did I miss a FAQ?
