More Progress on the Voxy Build


Just a quick update; making some tweaks to the Rockette. The Trainwreck Rocket completely ignores one triode of V1, which seems wasteful, and the AC30 dumps that output straight to the phase inverter, which seems silly. So, I got a little Plexi goin', and ran the "normal channel" into the next gain stage. Basically permanently jumpered channels that you can blend with the two volumes between bright and regular. Maybe I'll split those V1 cathodes if there isn't enough difference between the two volumes...

Moved some other things around, nothing too serious. Might add zeners on the cathodes? Maybe just on one pair? Maybe not, come to think of it.

Oh yes, and the parts are ordered, so the build will start shortly!
