true, and i can't remember which tap it's on now. But i tried all of them with various resistor values. And i found that they didn't seem to make enough difference to change the resistor value as much as i'd have thought. Between 4 and 16 there would be i'm sure, but between the 2 i mostly use, 8 and 16, there wasn't that big a difference. I just mentioned the sweet spot because someone mentioned a 100k and a 100k pot in series, and on any tap in my amp that would be pretty harsh unless the pot was set to zero resistance regardless of which tap i used.

Off topic, slightly: I like the process of finding sweet spots. However, when I found it all the knobs and pots changes from possibilities to an evident risk of messing up my tone. Well you know how it feels when the amp isn't ringing like it should and you're performing on stage.
This build has one 3 pot equelizer to each channel. One reverb pot and one presence, or whatever you like to can it, effects both channels. Normaly I use my twin reverb and it has 3 pot eq, reverb and tremolo. That's how I roll!In this forum everyone is entitled to my opinion.

I personally like to make the NFB loop frequency selective in favor of the lower frequencies (i.e. a maxed out "Resonance" control). I set mine up on the 16 ohm tap with a 100K resistor, then place a 10nf (.01uF) cap in series with the NFB resistor. Gives a nice a phat low end boost for frequencies 160Hz and below if you're not overdriving the PA. You can get the same result with a 47K and a 22nF (.022uF) on the 4 ohm tap.Jon Wilder
