Having read about the Allen Amps with their "mid/raw" control, I thought I'd give her a try on my PRRI...

25K pot, with the 6.8k resistor in series, so at full CCW it's the stock tone stack. Interesting. Not sure that it's "worth it", almost would rather just change the mid resistor to something I prefer.

Like how I have left the mod in the "still testing, easily reversible" stage? :lol:

I think I definitely like a little more mids/makes the circuit a tad hotter and more sensitive, but even with only a 25k pot, at full up it's just too much.

This experiment has shown me that a "mid pot" or "raw control" doesn't REALLY "brownface" or "tweed" a blackface. It pushes you in that direction, but it's not really the same thing.

At least that's a mod that won't leave us all 'dangling' in suspense.
