Any layouts, Schemos?

What it is the purpose? Are you converting the Cathode follower ot a gain stage? Are you replacing a 12ax7 with an EF86?
As was said it is ultra easy, you eliminate the cathode follower and place the connection to the tone stack on the previous gain stage where the 100k meets the Anode (Plate) of the tube. You also need to replace the 500p with 250p to get a similar response.
The CF gives a little more fullness to the overall sound, and sometimes you're better off adjusting the gain of the previous stages.
