Yes, I've got 1k screen resistors on mine since it has got EL34's in it. What I did was a lot more work than I initially anticipated, though! I ended up with something closest to the Dumble Bluesmaster preamp, skipping all the switches, but the bright on the clean channel. I added a 12 volt transformer and went with relay switching. The Master knob I made a post PI master, the lead master is like the regular dumble master, and the gain is the "ratio" between the two clipping stages of the overdrive. I added two more filter caps on the preamp board to decouple the clean channel and the reverb. I also converted the reverb to the standard blackface type, paralleled 12at7 driver, reverb recovery, into the other half of the PI. There was a hole on the back I used for a dwell control. I ended up with a 12at7 as the reverb return to drop the level. I also added bigger dropping resistors in the power supply to get the preamp voltages down.
