Homebrew ideas ?

[Valvehead]

Im still tweaking on my homebrew amp . Its sounding pretty good, but heres the issue:
from 1-4 on the mv, the amp sounds pretty decent . When the mv is at 5-8 the amp ROARS to life! Gets REAL thick.

Im looking for ideas to get that goodness at lower settings on the mv. Yes, i understand that what im hearing is the power tubes getting it on..

Today im trying a PPIV master to hear the difference.

Any other suggestions?

Amp is basically a "hot" jcm 800 style, 3-12ax7, 2-EL34.

WOW-

the ppiv mod did just want i wanted !

the amp stays even now at all volumes.

Gave a BIG gain boost as well.

HMMM.... my tone controls are not working properly now. If they are all on 10, the amp sounds pretty good. But when i turn them down, the amp gets real ugly, flabby bass, "assy" , etc...

i havent changed my 25k presence to a 2.5k like the scem shows.

The best homebrew idea is all-barley fully modified malt.

It may be that the bass is increasing when the master volume is turned down.
