Re: Self Split EL34 Output, and Getting more Power amp gain

Chris Hurley	Re: Self Split EL34 Output, and Getting more Power amp gain Right now, I've got two normal 12ax7 gain stages, a third gain stage driving the cathode follower, which drives the tone stack, followed by a master level, then the output tubes. There are dual 470k voltage dividers after 1M volume pots in between stages 1+2 and 2+3. I'm trying not to get more preamp distortion (as I have plenty), but I'd sure like to juice the output section a little bit.
