don't use pedals very much but found a gizmo that gives me sweet tube tone/overdrive

Been playing with B+ voltage adjustment and getting some outrageous overdrive and killer distortion from this contraption. Worried a bit, can the tube or capacitors be damaged by running B+ up and down?

Shouldn't as long as you don't go over the voltage rating of the caps.

Frankenamp with a new head (on loan from a curious person) - Same 12AX7 preamp - Quilter thru effects loop - Celestion G10 Vintage 60W speaker in a baffled cabinet to improve bass"
Dramatic improvement in every aspect, don't even miss the reverb. Quilter hybrid, sounds great! (little screw driver to adjust gain and B+ on preamp)

starved plate tube = tube placebo effect

If you can hear something nice, good for you.

I thought that it has been established that this particular preamp is not a starved plate design.

it is not starved plate, b+ is adjustable from 100v-250v.
