Reid Kneeland	Re: Any luck with building hybrid Tube/SS amps? My next project (God knows when...) is a hybrid bass amp. The power amp is mostly assembled already, and I got the design (and PCB) from http://www.vision.net.au/~anthony/symmetric.htm. The front end is going to be Kevin O'Connor's design from Tonnes of Tone. When that's working, I might add some goodies like a compressor and/or autowah. Hybrids are great for bass - tubes for tone shaping, and lots of power without 25 lbs of transformer or expensive power tubes. Reid
