Hello,
I'm looking to see if anyone's done a swap for the 12AX7's to something like a 12AT7 or 12AU7 to lower the overall gain of the DC-5. Currently, I only run the lead channel at about 3; anything more than that is more gain than I really want. My goal would be to lower the gain to the point where the amp has a more useable sweep on the gain pot, so whereas now I'm on 3, I could be at 6 or 7, and then have lower gain settings below.
Thoughts? I have yet to look at the DC-5's schematic to see which tube does what; I need to do that as well.
