Overall expectation of raising voltage

Nils	Overall expectation of raising voltage Hi, My Vox-clone is now up and running, everything is ok. I only have 240 volts in the B+ line it sounds real good. What can I expect if I raise the voltage to the 320 as the real one has. I understand that I'll get an increase in volume, but will the breakup start sooner/later or will it be the same. I'm asking this because the pt I have gives me 170-0-170 so either I have 240 or 480 volts. Nils

Overall expectation of raising voltage

Hi,

My Vox-clone is now up and running, everything is ok.
I only have 240 volts in the B+ line it sounds real good.

What can I expect if I raise the voltage to the 320 as the
real one has.

I understand that I'll get an increase in volume, but
will the breakup start sooner/later or will it be the same.

I'm asking this because the pt I have gives me 170-0-170
so either I have 240 or 480 volts.
