Shimmy, ever post something then think about it later? Yeah it was right after three graveyard shift, when I posted that diatribe.

Wasn't clear about it. The plate voltage and idle bias effects the resultant distortion curve of the tube. If the signal rides on lower voltage it may have more swong, but less gain. And more susceptible to background buzz.

If the signal is set onto too high plate voltage, you can get early OD and more compression (in general -- depending on tube type used).

Anyhow, the idea of the post was to showt that the plate resistor and any associated filter cap MAY have an effect on the final tone.

Noooooo, I've never done that. Well, OK......maybe once. :lol:

I thought your post was fine, and I understood what you meant, I was just expanding on what you posted. :)
