I want to apologize to all… I guess I asked the question in the most cumbersome way… Putting it in other words: Tone-wise, how does a grid-leak...
Hi Ten Over, Thanks for the detailed explanation... I understand that the voltage at the cathode node follows the voltage at the 68K-to-ground...
Hello tubeswell, Thanks for your response. I always thought that the bias point needed to be centered on the load-line... however, looking at the...
Greetings, I read several articles on cathodyne phase inverters and how to improve their response to overdrive. And then, to my surprise, I...
Hi Jesco, First let me say that this grid-leak biased phase-inverter design is intriguing… Grid-leak bias is very sensitive and bias varies (A...
Hi Andrew, Some years ago I built a guitar amplifier replica and there was something in the sound that was bugging me. I struggled with that amp...
Hi King Fan, Thanks for the close-up pic. It looks like a smooth cone to me...
BTW, do you happen to remember if the GA-9 field-coil speaker has smooth or ribbed cone? Thanks...
Hi King Fan, I never had the opportunity to work with a field-coil speaker myself... Regarding the volume pot, it is part of the 6SJ7 load......
Hi King Fan, Thanks for the detailed information you posted; it helps a lot. I studied the voltage figures you posted... The higher B+ values...
Hello muscmp, Thanks for your response. The BR-9 circuit is very close to the earlier GA-9 amp… but it does not have the 6V6's cathode and plate...
Greetings, I am interested in Single-Ended, paralleled wired tube guitar amps; particularly the early Gibson GA-9 model (circa 1953). I have...
