No Erwin you are a star for pointing this out to us all with pics as well.
I spoke to Nik about it and he is aware of it too.
This I believe is the secret ingredient as well as ensuring your cathode and anode (plate) wires are parallel . This is the dumble special lead dress and it works.
It made such a difference with the OD trimmer set at 26K to ground (middle lug and outer lug) Right if you are looking at the black side
This is 9 oclock on some trimmers and 11 oclock on mine. My trimmer reads 85K overall.
This is important as I have unleashed tones I didn't think the amp was capable of.
I was thinking of selling it but did all the similar mods to Jack but used RN65's for both anode and cathode resisters. I now have the tone in my head. TAD 6L6 WGC short bottles are ace by the way.

Hi Richard,
Anyway thnx!
It' s de-mystifiying the lead-dress thing.
Dumbles and Trainwrecks( as I heard) are the most unstable amps when it comes to wiring.
You're spot on right with the cathode and plate wires, ceriatone is already doing a good job there!
Grtz Erwin
