Carvin Bass Amp tube question

[DrNomis_44]

Most of this has gone over my head. I can confirm is that the back of the amp says it will handle 120 to 240 VAC. Sadly I have no world tours planned at the moment.

FWIW the F schematic should be fine. I have the G revision, but it only differs from F by the addition of one cap.

Other than that I understand "nur Bahnhoff" as the Germans say ;-) I had no idea how much EE talent there was on this board!

The consensus we came up with is that the 12AX7 tube/valve doesn't really do much tonewise at low volumes due mainly to how it is configured in the circuit, it's not really providing much in the way of gain, it is really acting as more of a buffer.

That part I thought I understood. Glad to have it confirmed. I am not sure I have ever had the master turned up high enough to hear the difference. It would be sort of ironic if you could only hear the difference shortly before going deaf.
