John	Re: SF Champ cathode resistor What is a good ma to bias a champ at? I just built a champ with 36o volts leaving the filter cap for the 6v6, and the amp sounds horrible when distorted. Way to loud too. I have a 470 ohm cathode resistor. Anyone know how to get a good thick distortion on this? The volume also cuts off when I turn the tone all the way ccw.A Princeton tone/volume setup. Thanks for any help.
