BIn kein Freund von diesen ganzen Tretern. Für mich muss ein amp, diesen ganzen kram bieten können. ICh verlange ja nicht viel ab und ich wünsche mir halt nur dass er etwas aggressiver klingt und erwarte ga gewiss keine wunder.
Agressiveres Tonverhalten ist Teil des Voicings des Amps. Das wirste mit Vorstufenröhren nicht beeinflussen können. Du kannst lediglich ein wenig am Gain oder der "Sauberkeit" des Tons damit schrauben.
V1A: 1st gain stage (active on both channels)
V1B: 2nd gain stage (active on both channels)
V2A: 3rd gain stage (active on Ultra Gain channel only)
V2B: 4th gain stage (active on Ultra Gain channel only)
V3A/B: Cathode Follower
V4A/B: Phase Inverter
Both the Reverb and FX loop circuits are totally solid state, no tube buffers or drivers.
Classic Gain / channel A:
Signal goes into V1A, then to gain knob, then to V1B, then to reverb, then to V3A&B (cathode follower), then to tone stack, then to master volume, then to V4, then to power tubes, then to output transformer, out to speakers.
Ultra Gain / channel B:
Signal goes into V1A, then to gain knob, then to V1B, then to V2A&B (gain stages), then to reverb, then to V3A&B (cathode follower), then to tone stack, then to master volume, then to V4, then to power tubes, then to output transformer, out to speakers.
Note ~ pushing the "crunch or lead 2" button in for either channel does not change the above signal paths... it just engages a bypass to a resistor, thus allowing more gain into the respective drive control knob.
