Re: Blackface BandMaster..Master Volume?
Nils, I've got one that I've been messing around with. Does your's have a "Showman" chassis ie. Does it have 2 octal holes that are covered? If you want to go hog wild, then you could wire it for 4-6V6's. This will increase distortion, yet you have to do Bruce's zener diode trick as well to get the B+ down. I put 2-12V/5W zeners in series with the PT Center Tap to drop the voltage about 22Vdc on the plates.
