You might also want to consider to use a high voltage MOSFET as a "cathode follower" instead of using another tube, e.g. a TO-92 LND150 as used in the Metro amp zero loss fx loop. In fact in the zero loss loop it's not a "cathode follower" (or actually source follower) but a "triode stage" with a s...

i think you definitely want a CF in there, and the first half of the Dumbleator would certainly do the trick as well as add some flexibility. In fact, since you would have a leftover triode, you might consider using it to provide two independent Dumbleator sends. This would allow you to send one to...

Sorry to tune in from aside (and first post too), but I am hatching the plan to build myself a preamp (only) as well ... I am currently wondering if it would be necessary to us a cathode follower after OD2/V2 or if utilizing the "FX Send" of the original layout would be sufficient enough to incorpor...
