  • Tweed Twin grid resistor question

    Why grid resistors on just two of the power tubes?

    It's weird, because it WAS working fine.....

    I think they found it worked like that plus it saved a few cents so why not? Practically speaking you wire the resistor from one tube to the other and then a single wire to the board. In other words it's easy to wire up.

    But it's funny you should ask. I just did an old Marshall that had this arrangement. I had to add a resistor in the feed wire to stop it oscillating on peaks. That's to say I had in effect 1.5k to the first and another 1.5k from that to the second.
    Experience is something you get, just after you really needed it.
