Looking for suggestions from some with experience using PPIMV on Marshall 50 watt type circuits

im using Lar -Mar type 2, it is usable over 50%..one note here.. how it is double potentiometer, tracking (correct folloving) between carbon traces from pot1 and pot2 is different through rotation, and you are getting power section out of balance with rotation! you can buy several pieces and check with the multimeter differences, and select one which fits the best.. also efect is visuable on oscilloscope

Yup, type 2 (larMar) is the best type in my opinion.
I build effects and amps and do custom builds to order. Boom.

Yea. The type 2 is the way to go. It lets you overdrive the PI (which sounds similar to an overdriven power section). Plus when it is full up it is electrically identical to not even being there.
