input wiring, simple question

[jsantana]

I have looked for it in the forum but sorry I have not found it. Please could anyone explain me what is the high and low normal inputs wiring philosophy?. I don't understand the scheme or I have bought wrong connectors.
This is my first topic. This site and members are great.

the low input hits only one side of the first preamp tube, V1. the high input hits both sides of V1 so you get a bit more gain. it has to do with the switching jacks. when you plug into the Low jack, the switch opens and your "hot" connection is straight through to one side of the tube. when you plug into the high jack, you're connected both to that side of the tube and also through the now closed switch of the Low input jack to the other side...
HTH.
