Have you considered reducing preamp gain to give you more clean headroom? An incremental reduction in preamp gain isn't going to significantly change your amp's character. You should still be able to get crunch at higher volume setting.phsyconoodler wrote:Yes indeed it is aggressive! The noise from the excess gain is kind of a drag but live it's livable.
I liked the little bugger so much I converted my other amp as well.It has 6L6's and it's a much louder version to be sure!
