This is somewhat of a repost from the Concertone thread. It has been concerted into a mic preamp exclusively.

As designed in the schematic, the VU meter causes a TON of distortion when switched into the circuit. Does anyone have a schematic for a 12AU7 meter buffer that would remedy this?

I tried rewiring it as a WCF, but the range of the meter is not working properly. The needle moves only a little.

Thanks, y'all.

Then it is not working right, probably not wired as you think it is.

Have you found any DC voltages in there?
