Connection from input jack to V1

Yeah - it's also a case of "why not" do all these things. The methods we're talking about are all essentially "free". It's just a question of layout and wiring. Once you know the optimal way to do it - why not do it as well as you can?

Love me some "Honest Abe"... "Whatever you decide to be, be a good one."

Taken another way, if you're already doing it, why not do the best you can? The parts are cheap compared to the time and the time is best used when the amp is on the bench.

Taken yet another way... As a small business owner I'm often baffled by the poor work ethic and attitude of hired help. Quite simply, you contracted to work for an hour for an agreed wage. Why not do the very best you can? WTF else are going to do with the hour? I already bought it from you so you can't use it for your own purposes now!!!

How can someone with no self-respect truly respect another self? To put it another way, if I can't do what I want right now, why should you get any satisfaction from my misery? And, why the hell should I work? You already agreed to pay me!

Okay, I'll stop feeding the bitter parts of my humanity now...

...... and then there's that whole pride/self satisfaction thing. Speaking for myself, I get no satisfaction from doing something half-assed. I'll go the "extra mile" if I need to, sometimes at my own expense, and that's just fine with me.

Oh, I understand the mechanisms at work. I'm just baffled that the people who exercise them don't. And even worse... How did anyone so stupid that they can't reconcile their own motivations dupe me into giving them a job?!? Whose the dummy now?

Just to clarify something:

Most of the guitar signal current goes through the 1M grid leak and there is little or no current through the grid-cathode junction. But if there is any interference coupled into the loop this will appear as a voltage across the grid-cathode junction. Minimising the loop area will minimise that interference.

Except at the high frequencies where it is nearly the same.
