Here's what a builder at metroamp did. Interesting thread here and there.I've thought about doing it myself but built one of each instead of using just one :D

Mark, what are you seeing viz. the bias changing with your High/Low HT and SS/Vacuum rectifier options? Seems like you will have quite a range to cover there...

I'll get back to you with the voltage values and bias next week thanks for being patient no back to the wife's family reunion. :)

No worries! You're doing me (and the rest of us here) a favor by reporting on your results.

I tried my new Mad Professor "Golden Cello" pedal with this BF Bassman clone I'm doing all this switching in. I really like this new pedal it allows me to get honking tones and so easy to dial in ZZ-top aggressive lead tones.

Next week I'll plug in my tube tester and check voltages.

The coolers are filled and loaded into the truck, chairs, next food and condiments. :) Nice sweaty day for a picnic in the park.
