Ha Ha!!! There's my mate! I agree completey. What you suggest was on my list of to do's. I'll consult with you when I'm ready to begin I have to tell you...I love this pre-amp. It was a really odd duck to me at first, but now.....two seperate push-pull class A triodes on the same chassis, split for you convienence, push-pull pentodes, super triode. What more could one ask for? Talk about easy experimentation! I patched in the MkIV reverb amp with some pots. Viola! Instant deep, rich reverb!

Raul, hi mate

Yes I agree it can be done HOWEVER IMHO I fear diode-like class B
will sound terribly harsh. IMHO you'll be better off pushing bias
substantially zerowards (ie class A) and then a diddly notch onto
heavy compression. Distortion plus grind, dirt and all that stuff
Laurens was so ashamed of will stand out at lower volume levels :-)
