Jim S. | Plate voltage on BFD Hi Guys, first time poster here, but here goes. I just recapped my blackface deluxe, no reverb. Upgraded the power supply caps and the bias cap and replaced all bypass caps. Installed some nos phillips 6V6's baised around 28-29 ma. the plate voltage is about 439-440volts. A little high I thought. What are the consequences of running at high voltage ? Should I do the zener diode trck, if so where can I get one ? I am running a 5y3 rec tube in place of the gz34 to lower the voltage, sounds really good, nice sag, but of course major lose in volume. Any info would be appreciated. |
