Can you have different plate load resistors on V1 than on V2

[pine]

From what I'm reading (non-HRM) amps with 100K plate load resistors and 1.5K cathode resistors have a great clean tone and amps with 220K/150K plate load resistors and 3.3k/2.2K cathode resistors have a better OD tone. Can someone explain why you can't have the lower plate load on V1 and the higher load on V2 to try to get the best of both worlds? Forgive me if this is a blatantly stupid question.

Perfectly fine to mix and match - let your desired tone be your guide.

Will there be a giant volume jump between the clean and OD channels? Also, is this even worth trying on a 50 watt amp?

No

yes

I did the 100K/1.5K on V1 with 10uf bypass caps, and did the higher 220/150 on V2 with 4.7uf bypass caps and it sounds great to me ... although I wanted better cleans. For what I wanted it worked great. If you play overdrive all the time you might want to use the 220/150 on V1 ... if you use it on occasion, and want your OD sound it to be more like dirt on cleans you might like using 100K's 1st.

Did you do the 100K/1.5 K on both CL1 and CL2 with no effect to the OD channel? I had thought (I think it was a post by heisthl) that you had to leave CL2 alone to keep the integrity of the OD channel. I play a Strat mainly, I'm trying to get a sort of blackface breakup in the clean channel, but I like the OD channel as is (I did do the "ayan entrance mod" to the OD side)

I did do the 100K/1.5 on both sides of V1 ... I have a tendency to use my clean a lot more than the overdrive channel and with the 220/150 on V1 I would get breakup if I turned the volume past 3. When I changed the V1 to 100Ks There was some effect to the OD channel in the sense that now it sounds more RAW and I still havent put in a treble bleed circuit, but I have been considering that ... for now I just just the tone knob on my guitar.
