PPIV Master Volume Kit

If you’ve got an old Marshall, Marshall reissue, or other push-pull power, non-master volume amp, you already know it has to be cranked up fairly high to get overdriven tone. Unfortunately that also means very loud. With the PPIV (Post Phase Inverter) Master Volume kit, you can install a master volume that will allow you to achieve those overdriven tones at a much lower volume. This MV is based on Ken Fisher’s Type II, with the LarMar refinement (2.2M Ohm safety resistors). It is also the most transparent when rotated fully clockwise (maxed, or “dimed”). Please note: Beginning in 2018, instructions are now online for your convenience, allows us keep our prices competitive, and allows us to help contribute to a greener planet. Please refer to the Order Status email for links to instructions. Order Status can also be obtained online in your Account History (after registering).

(1) Alpha 250K audio dual pot

(2) feet two conductor coax cable (2 conductors, 1 shield)
(1.5) feet 22GA 1000V PVC Topcoat wire (for bias supply, color may vary)
