Kinky Pentodes

Postby dhuebert » Tue Nov 08, 2005 8:29 am

I have heard some talk lately about pentodes not sounding as good as beam power due to secondary emission kink. Also, I have noticed on some old guitar amps they applied the bias voltage to the suppressor grid, making it around -40V as opposed to 0V. Anyone care to comment?
