VVR Mod for EL84 Guitar Amplifier

This document provides a circuit diagram and instructions for modifying a guitar amplifier to include a variable voltage regulator (VVR). The VVR is based on a Dana/UR12 circuit. It suggests component values and adjustments including setting B1 voltage to less than 310V and B3 voltage to 300V. Capacitor C1 from 2nf to .1uf is recommended to fix scratchy guitar pots at lower VVR settings.
