I tied both inputs and both plates together of the 6sc7. It lowered the noise floor. I had them disconnected completely. Must be driving slightly harder, the break up is different in a way that I cant quite put words to. It makes the tubes glow blue with the gain cranked. I have a twin reverb...

No PM here in OK, too damn hot and dry. Probably BT spray or my hard well water leaving some calcium carbonate behind. I battle leaf septoria, bud worms, deer, red clay, and drought. Mine are at the same stage, I just chose the BIGGEST BUDS for a pic. :rolleyes:

Here is the D9 Thai x DLA5 at the beginning of sept. Very early bud formation. This plant is the most developed. I guess they take after their mom. Im growing these in bags, and I have a place for them in a shed, and an extra lamp, so I bet Im going to be moving these inside at some future...

The thing I don't like about having SO MANY crosses coming out is that I don't have the time,space, and energy to keep up.

Not a fan of this as the pre amp circuit. It does have an old time quality to it though. The stratish guitar sounds real grainy. The tele sounded more normal, but a little darker and low end heavy. Im going to mess around with plate and cathode voltages and see what happens.

Oh man...Im an idiot. I was running the wire leading to volume pot to a grounded lug on the terminal strip. I got it going nicely with a volume pot. The break up is gritty/grainy. I will play around with some values for this before I move on.

We are a wasteful species. Always have been. We know a lot about the past peoples by digging around in their garbage piles. This non-centralized garbage does suck though. Always seems like an individual against the world in these times. Screaming into the void. Why can't we be better?! Because...

Definitely messed up a lot of stuff, but the improvement they made to kinky sex is immeasurable.

Yeah, I am just swapping the two pots that are on it. I desoldered them and checked resistance on them. One was bad. I will try some new ones. In a dark room I can see flashes of blue gas in the 6v6 pair. First one then the other, but farther up the volume knob, they both glow a bit at the...

Bad solder joint or tube socket wouldn't surprise me. Bad connections or junky ground reference is always a thing. Tapping the tubes just shows the 6sc7 as v1 to be a bit microphonic. I am only connecting my guitar to 1 preamp tube at a time and it goes to the phase inverter. All other pre...

I tried to leave you a pm, but you have control issues and so I couldn't. https://dinopartychucks.com/shop/ols/all You're interested in these rainbow wiggler f2's maybe. Thanks RBJF! What a time to be alive. Back to the regularly scheduled program. D9 Thai x DLA 5 has small flowers on green...

Fun work. I am leaving the 6sj7 as is. I dig that a lot. If I end up with 3 or 4 channels, what is the best way to do that? Individual inputs and just jam all of the tubes outputs together into the phase lnverter? Or do I need some sort of switching to isolate each ch from the PI, one at a time...

I left all components as I found it, just moved the input to the 6sc7s' first grid. I wired it up backwards on the volume pot the first time. Had to look at again the next day with fresh eyes. I will mess with this circuit for awhile. See what happens before I decide what to do with 6sc7. Then I...

I am moving on down the line one tube at a time. I wired up just the 6sc7 into .047 cap, into volume knob, into PI. It sucks. The phono knob is doing the same thing with this as with 6sq7. It acts like a switch. Nothing up to halfway, then sound comes through speaker. I will try the tone pot. I...

I have a buddy that likes to argue with me. He thinks the answer to freewill is yes. He likes to point to Descartes as his argument. I can't wait until next time so I can point to Spinoza. Like philosopher Pokémon battles.

Here's some sounds. Cleaned up some without the 6sc7 mixer adding gain. Still no headroom. Clean up to 2-3, then crunch zone. Pretty cool. I got an eminence the tonker, so I will mix that with the swamp thang and see what happens. 1 more and my 4x12 will be complete.

Life has kept me busier lately. I got back into the guts of this amp. Peeled back to a single 6sj7 into the phase inverter. A lot nicer. Still getting crunchy around 3 o'clock on the volume knob. Backing volume down on guitar is cool. Might explore a tone bleed on my strat. Im going to try...

5g is a lot if they are strong. 5g is not much if they weren't. Body load seems to be the price of admission. The things you mention are not tryptamines.
