I was wondering is there a consensus on how much gain is ideal for a each amp stage to get a beautiful singing leadtone with plenty of sustain .
I read articles in the past saying 12 db per gainstage would be the thing to go for .
I want to build an amp with an oldfashioned leadsound , rocksound that is , no metal or the likes.
And the voltages I should use , how high ( or low ) should I aim for ?
The Poweramp will have EL 34 tubes PP fixed bias with the possibility to switch to cath bias.
