Hello Kirk,

thank you very much for elaborating, I've saved your
interesting article for future re-reading.

P.S.: I know next to nothing about tubed guitar amps,
but owned (and used) an Orange stack (4x EL34, I remember)
about 20 years ago, when playing geetah and bass in some
local bands. That was long before I was interested in tube
circuits per se ...
