Craig	Re: Anyone seen the boutique amp article in August issue of Guitar Player? I didn't read the article, but the idea of using two different types of tubes of about the same plate dissipation isn't that new. If you have separate bias balance pots, you can set them up in balance at idle, then when you start crankin' they will have different overdrive characteristics, resulting in some potentially cool sounds. Just another neat idea in the wacky world of tubes. Craig
