Now this makes complete sense as I have been looking at schematics for the Marshall 1974 (Pretty much the same amp with a few exceptions) and the 2061. Now the 1974 doesn't have grid stoppers but it only has 330VDC on the Power Amp and the Power Amp is biased a bit different (125 resistor instead of 150). The 2061 has a higher voltage on the Power Amp BUT it has grid stoppers and the PI is a bit different.
I am going to reduce the 47uF Cathode Bypass Cap to 1uF as at the moment there is so much bass even with the tone on 10 which should be really trebly! If I still have too much bass then I'm going to reduce the Coupling Capacitor back to .005uF or worst case .0022uF. I shall then look at putting in a grid stopper of 470K with a 470pF Bypass Capacitor. I plan to do it in this order as the cathode bypass cap and coupling cap are easier to change than adding in a grid stopper and should reduce the gain a bit. What do you think?
