wow, nice advice. i now decided to built it according to the schematic. if it works and i dont like it i can still make some mods, maybe a tone stack or something.
thanks for all the good advice. when my amp is ready i will post some pics and samples.

also would it be able to do an evh sort of mod to the first tube? can i just change the capacitor to 0.68 µf?
thanks for all the info btw, just by posting on this forum i learnt more from tub amps than i did from reading books about it

is it posible to add a switch to install a switch for parallel/series for the first 12ax7? i heard some things about coupling capacitors, can anyone explain that to me? my understanding of it is that if u dont have it u will burn ur tube out , is this correct?

sorry, i cant right now but maybe later. i have another question. the tube sound is it based on the preamp or poweramp? because if i find out that my minimalist doesnt have enough gain, could i be able to build a ss preamp with massive gain?

yes it is but it was a selfbuilt sg and there wasnt enough space to put a pot in

the schematic is under here but i have noticed that a lot of pedals use j201 jfets, if they are interchangeable, are there some conditions that i need to know about that i dont blow them?

hello everyone,

i'm new here but i have seen a lot of good advice so id like to ask you all something. i am now building a  jfet buffer but i cant get j201 jfets in my area. does anybody of you know a jfet that can directly replace them. will a j300 work, i have some of those at home now.
