thanks for the great info.
i changed to a 22k slope resistor instead of the 33k. i like the shift it brought in, but i may need to adjust the bass cap to roll off some of the low end around 100 hz. it has added meat, but i am unsure if i will keep it permanent.
that output section stuff you mentioned sounds interesting. i love the way the amp sounds at full tilt (it thickens up), but it is just too damn loud and i would rather spend $5 on some beefy 3w resistors than $250 for an attenuator.
plus the whole learning experience and whatnot.
also, i am not looking for more bass/balls, but more thickness in the 500-850 hz (approximate) range; to de-emphasize the 1-2k range where the mids in this amp seemed to be voiced at, but not to the point of something boogie-esque. i know... i know......
also, i am running JJ 6L6, GT12AX7 (V1-V3), JJ12AT7 phase inverter. i do like the change the 12AT7 makes in V1. even if i match the gain with the 12AT7 vs 12AX7, the 12AT7 is a bitt less fizzy and thicker. i am guessing it is mostly b/c of the way it biases warmer than a 12AX7 in the same slot.
