5ode/3ode switch

1/5/2000 9:54 PM
Ron	5ode/3ode switch I need a little help. I would like to install a pentode/triode switch in my amp. My amp is a McIntyre Bluesmaker. Schematic is available at http://www.techaccessinc.com/blueguitar/bluesmkr.gif. I know how to wire the switch up, what I need advice on is do I have to change the resistor value on the second grid of the EL34 or can I leave it as is? My B+ on the plates is 420Vdc. Thanks in advance.
