Favorite v1 cathode resistor/cap values?

[ledvedder]

Hey guys, I'm curious what everyone's favorite cathode values are for v1a and v1b on a plexi style amp?

I have a Ceriatone Plexi All Access, and it currently has 820r/330uF on v1a and 1k/0.68uF on v1b. It is switchable between split and shared. I'm considering experimenting, so I'd like to hear what you guys prefer.

I like 820R/3uf and 2k7/.68uf

I don’t hear a huge difference between 3 and 330uf, but I 3 has just been my go to

I like the stock values for the first stage. It’s the Marshall sound we all love.

But what are the "stock" values for v1b? I see various ones. 2k7, 1k, 820r.

Stock 2203, so 2.7k // 0.68uF

You can get a bit larger of a sound going 2.7k // 1uF which is what a lot of people do. I don’t like changing the bias point, it makes the amp sound thin.
