Capacitor rating for NFB Cap

Post by Xander8280 »

Thinking of throwing a tone stack in my NFB loop of my jcm to control some tonality after the phase inverter.
Is this going to throw the impedance off that bad? I don't care about tube life, I just care about transformer failure if that would even happen...

Thanks guys

Bear in mind that the controls will work opposite to what you would expect if they were outside of a NFB loop, ie if wired as normal, as say treble is turned clockwise, the treble level will tend to decrease.
