Well, I thought all vintage tonestacks were attenuation only, truth be told. I've heard tell of a few, modern "active" designs, but don't know anything about them. Maybe that Vox baxandall thingamabobby??
I read once that one trick for best tone is to set up your amp as you like it, then carefully remove the chassis and measure the resistance the pot is presenting to the circuit, then remove the pot and replace it with a permanent resistor of that value (or as close as you can find). While it seems logical, it also seems terribly impractical.
I just built an 18 watt 'lite IIb' as per the fine folks over at 18watt.com--just vol & tone, and am quite loving that setup. If I could just find the hum that comes in when the knobs get up towards 8, it might just be perfect.
Oh, Billm, you were a big help to me in the past with a friends BJr project--thanks again!
