    What is the B+ average on a HDRX20 head?

    From PRS (Matt) and Thank YOU!..... " We recommend a bias of 30mV because that allows for optimum operation of the tubes through a range of 333 - 400 VDC on the plates. So I would say that the average B+ is ~370V. " Let's me know what variety of 5881 I can slam in there, or 6L6.... but I knew...

    What is the B+ average on a HDRX20 head?

    What is the B+ average on a HDRX20 head? I guess I could tear apart and measure but since the bias is easy to do externally, I would like to calculate based off the B+ and decide the best tube.

    SE Swamp Ash Wiring

    Unfortunately both sides of the dpdt switch are being used, 1 side engages the middle single coil while the other is tapping the neck. So you either change out the Volume Pot to a push pull or add a mini toggle. Unless you want the Neck always a humbucker and want to tap the Bridge?

    Getting “The Tone” - ‘99 McCarty HBII

    Well.... in my biased opinion,,, PRS guitars will always sound PRS (Yeah!) and Gibson will be that sound from the old days because that is what was used. Not sure what else to say to help.
