I've been reading up a bit on FET vs tube for gain staging at the amp's input, and it is a really interesting topic. I'm wondering if Jason and/or someone with some tech knowledge could chime in on how a builder might come to the decision to use FET in this regard. There seems to be more talk about it in the context of microphones, as well as acoustic guitar/piezo applications. With a guitar tube amp, it seems like FET can provide even more gain, lower noise, and possibly a more clinical "attack". That being said, it is less common than just going all tube and so I'm curious about this. Thanks!
