Snubber theory, confused

Different kind of feedback. It would take someone who knows more than me to explain how to get a guitar to feedback at the right time on stage!

Ayan points out that you are taking really high frequencies from the plate with the little cap and sending them to ground through the larger cathode bypass cap. This is basically pruning the signal down to the useable parts so you don't amplify garbage in the next. If you add two triodes in a preamp without knocking the highs back a bit, you'll make every dog in the neighborhood bark.

I just started punching the chassis for a Hybrid (sorta) build and plan to use 270pf caps initially. That said, you can season to taste. Don't forget the dogs though.

Thanks Gil and good luck Mat,

Ok, I had a switch to swap between 3 caps on both snubbers but I could not hear a clear difference between them..

Good luck with the new build

Looks like Hugo might be bothered by the lows too!

You better hope Hugo does not read this. He thinks the size is irrelevant (no matter what size dog comes by he thinks he is the strongest!!)
