The Amp Garage

I have a pre PI MV installed and the sound was actually OK at paint peeling volume...is this typical of the circuit?

A little late to the party but was wondering about the phase shift of the parallel triodes V1a & b. I've got it wired up and the cleans are much cleaner by eliminating that 3rd triode, but the bass channel is out of phase. any thoughts?

thx.
