Hi makinrose,
I don't have a tonne of experience with seesaws but I was able to get adequate results in a custom cathode-biased amp where the power tube grid leaks were replaced with a dual-pot. Power tube grid-stoppers were of course added.
That amp also had a 'balance' pot as part of the divider between the output of the first seesaw triode and the second which the owner often used in conjunction with the drive comp knob.
That said, we weren't trying to replicate any specific tones, just tried to be a little bit different. Our "adequate" solution might be different to your goal.
