So basically a Tonestack placed ahead of a clipping stage would give you more Output Stage Distortion than Pre Amp Distortion, which is probably what I want really. I find you get better clarity with Output Stage Distortion than Pre Amp. Altho I do want to have a Marshally sound so may just keep the tone stack after the gain stages. Pros and Cons.
I did work out the bias of the Pre Amp Valve using a load line and I got 300ohms as the Cathode Resistor! Will probably use split Cathode with 820ohm Resistors on each. If you bias a Pre Amp too cold it can start to sound buzzy I think.
