I was reading the post on obscure Trainwreck derives circuits...

Has anyone ever seen or tried the volume control in the cathode circuit of the phase inverter?

Re: Cathode Volume Control
I recall a commercial amp and patent that combines such a variable cathode resistor in the LTP with a type 4 master volume, using a dual track pot. The track values might not be the same.
It wasn’t one of the big brands.

Re: Cathode Volume Control
That idea was bounced around on Hoffman's forum about 15 years ago. There was a pot version and this switch version. The switch became more popular. All was short lived and I haven't heard about it again until just now.

Merlin outlined this in his chapter on LTP and called it a "Scale" control.

Re: Cathode Volume Control
Thank you for the responses. I think I'm curious enough to try one. Will report back.

Re: Cathode Volume Control
It feels like tri/pent switch on output.. there is a reason it isn't popular.
