Hi,
I have this 2x6V6 amp with 6SL7 LTPI (with typical Marshall values, 50k feedback resistor from the 8 Ohm tap).
What I noticed is the Presence control behaves in a strange way unlike the one in my 4xEL34 amp and other amps I built.
Instead of only boosting the "presence" frequencies it sounds like it increases the volume as well. I swapped the OT leads but it started oscillating so I assume it's not positive feedback.
When presence control is at minimum and I disconnect it from the FB loop there's an audible sound change which is usually not noticeable .
Years ago I had similar problem with a 2xEL84 amp where this Presence "effect" was even more noticeable and I just left it without it.
I would appreciate if you have any ideas and or comments on what's going on.
