RE: Getting back into the tube amp projects

Hmm if it distorts at a low volume maybe it could be used as a distortion pre-amp pedal for a guitar then run into another amp to tame the distortion/compression a bit.

I fixed that distortion problem by rewiring the driver tube so that it doesn't have so much drive. Now I need to increase the signal from the input tube to the second stage so that I can create a bit more preamp distortion when I want it. A few more tweaks and it should be ready for a demo video.
Does this amp have quarter inch inputs?
It does now. These old amps didn't have 1/4 inch inputs as built, they had RCA inputs for the phono and aux inputs, and screw on microphone cable connectors. When you rebuild one of these old amps, you have to put the 1/4 inch jacks on them. You also have to rewire one of the tubes for the guitar inputs.
