The only prob with -47 all the time is it will increase carrier levels needed to get the "modulator' effect.

All a "modulator' is is an amplifier biased to where no current flows during carrier conditions... Or zsac at most.....

EDIT: If you don't run enough carrier, with -47 on the grid all the time, you'll end up with that 'sandy' super-swing sound. To get a 'modulator' to SOUND good, you have to monitor input and output carrier levels. When they are MATCHED (ie, 4 watts carrier in produces 4 watts carrier out), THEN you have the modulator effect (an Intermodulator, is more like it)
