After re-reading Guitar Amplifier Overdrive I was wondering if it is possible to modify the AX84 October (http://www.ax84.com/october/October_Club_101010.pdf) to include a Low Impedance Overdrive (LIO) stage. Something like the following:
- Add an AC coupled LND150 follower after the paralleled / jumpered 1st stages
- The output of the LND150 feeds the 2nd tube stage + CF with the grid stopper and leak resistors selected as per Ulrich's site: https://sites.google.com/site/string...fier-overdrive
My reading of the book leads me to think that it could be an interesting way to get differing clipping behaviour with a simple addition of some cheap silicon.
No idea is this is advisable? E.g., can the LND150 take the signal coming off dimed 1st stages? If it can, then the following stage would show some of the potential tonal benefits discussed in the book and the above link.
Thoughts? Has anyone tried this?
