Split grid stopper?

[EFK]

If I want to use a grid stopper between triode stages as something of a voltage divider (following a volume pot) to attenuate signal, BUT I'm concerned about treble roll-off (it needs to be a somewhat high value), is it possible to split the resistive value into two daisy chained resistors and use a treble bypass cap over one so that there is a differential between total attenuation and treble/high mids attenuation? In other words, the entire signal will be attenuated to a particular degree by the final resistor right on the socket, but the previous resistor will attenuate the lower frequencies more as there will be a bypass cap of maybe 400-500 pf over the top of it. MEanwhile, I don't think it would impede the grid path to ground. So, I guess I'm wondering if there is any potential problem here? Any thoughts?

At least, I should mention *I think* it might act as a voltage divider, can't it? Seems as though in conjunction with the volume pot wiper, it will create a variable divider.... ????

Yes, at high frequencies I think it will act as a voltage divider. The idea itself should be work, give it a go. As long as the resistive path between the grid and ground doesn't rise above about 2M (eg when vol pot is on full), it should be ok.

If you bypass part of the grid stopper resistance, the bypassed portion won't be doing any grid-stopping. The volume control itself is already a variable divider.

Anything after the grid leak will only interact with miller capacitance right? What preamp tube are you using? What is the miller capacitance of it? You can then calculate Fc=1/2piRC. To find the frequency at which your resistance values will cut highs, substitute your grid leak with R and the miller capacitance with C and voila. Adobe isn't working for me right now and I don't know the MC for a 12ax7 off the bat.
