Mark, the reasons I don't like the MV control are as follows:

1. - It adds extra circuit loading prior to the phase inverter, lowering
effective preamp gain.

2. - The extra long wires to hook the mofo up add extra distributed
capacitiance, noise pickup and stability problems.

3. - MV type distortion on Fenders sounds shitty.


It has nothing to do with the phase inverter. Besides, the blackface mod
makes the whole damn amp sound better.

Regards.
