actually, i have just added an output attenuator to srpp to control output level...
now i can push it to 20db gain for some slight tube distortion.
i wouldnt say its a fantastic tube overdrive/distortion... but its good... but i could do without it tho..
there is already weight of the tranies i have used... using a better design wouldnt cost much more...
i would go with better circuit as shabtek suggesting... or EZ 1290 line in is pretty good at it...
