So i managed to put 260vdc throough the input of my vox. Neddless to say it cooked the first ic. Looki g at the schematic i tried injecting signal at pin 2 pin 7 and pis 2-7 in parallel. With mixed results it worked but was noisy and on the higher gain models it would oscilate and squeal. Then i tried at r88 and it workec great. Now my dilema is put this 15 cent single transistor boost stage in and be done or put a 6sn7 running at 260vdc in there. The tranny boost has adjustable gain so once its in there i can dial it in just like it was. The 6sn7 sounds great its really clean and its another tube in the signal path.
