has anyone experience of using two tone stacks from a single cathode ? any interactions between channels/pops on switching over ?
I was trying to build a channel-switching marshall type amp and wanted separate tonestacks for the clean and overdrive [trying to save putting an extra valve in ] - can somebody with greater experience than mine have a look at the following two examples of slightly different ways of implementing the two tonestacks please ?

thanks lauri that's very helpful - does the extra capacitor effect the sound in any way ?

The simple answer is "not if it's big enough".phillyhudson wrote: ↑Sun Apr 06, 2025 11:12 am does the extra capacitor effect the sound in any way ?
If the capacitor is large enough to have its low frequency roll off with the tone stacks be below any frequencies you feed it, almost certainly there will be no audible effect.
