Hi, I have no use for a balance knob in my system. Is it possible to bypass the balance knob? I'm building my Moreplay into a custom chassis so this would also allow me to have one less knob installed on my unit. If this is possible, can someone provide guidance on how to do this? Thanks!

Yes, you can bypass the balance knob.

You will need to substitute a pair of 100K resistors from grid to ground on each 6V6 if you don't use the balance pot.

Hey PB. are you suggesting a 50k ohm grid load or a 100k grid load. 2 100ohm in parallel which would be 50k ohms or one 100k on each tube,.just to clarify it to him.

One 100K resistor per 6V6.
