I was watching this video for the Dr.Z "z-wreck".

And I liked the idea of the Comfort / Speed Switch, which I assume Is similar to the Orange Dual Terror half Power switch.
The Classic tone Power transformer, has taps for 300vac and extra taps for 260vac.
Would this be as simple as wiring both Taps to a Toggle switch on the back of the chassis. So you could swap to either set of Taps to change the plate voltage?
Would the Amplifier need to be re-biased each time? Or would this be similar to Power scaling, and you wouldn't need to.
Any thoughts would be great.

Re: Z-Wreck Comfort / Speed Switch
Yes that's exactly what it is. As the amp is cathode-biased it doesn't need any adjustment. As long as it doesn't over-dissipate on the higher voltage setting, it's good.
