Or, AFAIL ("L" stands for Learnt), unless you remove the grid resistor on the amp
(better with a switch), so that the overall input impedance is entirely given by
the pot.

Well, maybe the serie resistor I talked about in my previous post could let you
mess with 11 M or more... You already have the switch to turn it off.

P.S. Mark, I forgot to thankyou for the precious infos on Gibsons and 6L6 tubes, 
I've printed them and still... meditating, there's a lot of stuff. Sorry again
