Fixed bias + cathoderesistors

Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Are trying to improve sound in my Musicman guitaramp. The four EL34 have 700V at the anodes. 350V at screengrids. And current 25mA. Had crossoverdist.even at quite low soundlevel. Now I soldered in 470 ohm/1W between each cathode and the 10 ohm testresistor which is connected to ground. Guess class AB1 moved towards class A ? Sound is cleaner now. Can anyone explain to me why ? Shall I connect a 22uF/35V over each 470 ohm resistor ? Thanks for answers and perhaps more advice how to reduce distortion.....get a even more clean amp.
