nigelbrew	Re: ultra linear My assumption is that Ul would sound More "hi-fi". If someone gets their tone mostly from pre amp gain and plays at low to moderate volume, this may not make a huge fifference. A tighter bass response would certianly be a good thing for modern heavy rock sounds. In a four tube amp, The power stage could be wired up in the way Kevin O' Conner describes in his TUT book in the section demonstrating how a 135 watt UL twin can be warmed up by hooking the two inner tubes in UL and the two outer tubes in triode mode. peace, Nigel http://www.mp3.com nigel_r_brewer
