Basically I'm going for a single input Super Bass where both channels are blended in the most classic way. Hi normal input with a bridged Lo normal - Hi bright. Got this first part sorted out already. But how to deal with the plates and only use a single vol pot. Basically there are two options.
This seems like the most sensible way to do it:
But when looking at the 2204 schematic, and the gain stage where the preamp volume is positioned, it seems the position of the resistor is reversed in the signal chain. But with preamp volume only slightly on 1-2, the grid leak resistance value would be quite low.
Anyone who can advise me on which option to go for, and provide some more insights on this? Also, is it the right choice to go for a combined 50K anode resistor? Cheers
PS: Obviously you can still argue, why not use a grid leak of 1M instead of 532K, and also a 68K for the 2nd grid stopper instead of 102K, but I'm not too much bothered with this right now
