Been building a Mullard ‘two-valve’ preamp in my lunchtimes (build thread with almost no replies on Retro Rides if you’re interested). I’ve modified the circuit slightly so that the inputs have slightly different levels of amplification and the overall signal output has a slight gain to suit the big input wanted by both of my amps. Got it up and running and it sounds fabulous with my huge speakers. It’s got enormous bollocks because I didn’t put a rumble filter on it. Only thing I’m going to change now is the capacitors on the bass part on the tone control so it comes in and out at a lower frequency. Currently starts a gentle slope at about 1khz with full gain at about 30hz. So it’s got quite an old-fashioned sound, but I’m looking for it to start at maybe 500hz. I’ll start there by doubling the cap values and see what it sounds like.
