More ao-35 IIb talk

Post by Patrick620 »

I am going to keep the octal 5v rectifier socket and use the stock iron. Whether I use a 5y3, 5U4, 5ar4. From my understanding the PT has 3A on the 5v tap for the 5u4. If I want the amp to break up at a lower volume (5ish) should I not have a bit lower voltage? I could also roll out V1 with a 5751 or 12ay++ to lower the gain. Stick with a 5y3? Once I get it up and running I will report back from time to time and welcome all chime ins. Thanks
