cathode bias cap value

| Ricky | cathode bias cap value have any of you seen the amp project on Angela Instruments web site? it shows a switch in the cathode bias section of the 6v6's that takes the 10uf electro cap out of the circuit, leaving the 250 ohm resistor. they call the switch the "vox-twang" switch. my question is, wouldn't that amp kind of sound dead without a cathode bias cap? to take it a step farther couldn't you have a 10uf wired in all the time and have a switch that throws a 25uf in and out of paralel with the existing cathode bias cap of 10uf? would this work? do any of you guys have a favorite value of cathode bias cap in a Deluxe 5E3type circuit? |
