Running amps Clapton style

[ClassicRock88]

So the Granger M100 is a roughly 1969-1972 Super Lead clone with some choice circuit value changes. It has a PPIMV on it which I rarely run much above 4 (for obvious reasons). Typically I run the channels bridged with an EQ that is bass and mid about 1 o'clock, treble about 11:30, presence about 1:00, then Volume 1 and 2 at 6 and 3 on the dial, respectively. It sounds really good.

I also have a Line 6 amp sim that runs on your computer and the guitar connects to an interface box. I use it for practicing a lot. As an experiment I pulled up its Super Lead model and set it to run through a 4x12 with G12M's. I decided not to bridge the inputs and instead ran everything on 10, like Clapton did with Cream. After backing the presence off a bit, the sim sounded AMAZING. It was right there.

Assuming that I still ran the PPIMV at or below 4 and since a preamp is a Class A circuit (thinks it is wide open all the time anyway), would actually running my M100 this way put any undue strain on the circuit?

Granger....is that the guys out in Hueytown?

I don't think so. Give Curt a call and ask him though, he might have a better way to do it.
