Stan	Re: Regulating screen grid voltage? >Could this be causing my Dumble clone to distort too early? (clean channel) >It seems as though I can hear my clean guitar in the distortion with to much high end(distortion channel) Just want to make my previous post a little more clear. Also, Tubes are about 428V around 35mA(plates),430V (screen grids).Lead dressing and soldering are very clean. I'll keep going through the circuit to make sure it is not a wiring mistake or failed component. Incidentally, I noticed the B+ is very high thruout the amp during start-up then drifts back down to correct operating voltages, is this normal? Any tidbit of info would be great. Thanks in advance, Stan
