Thanks for the comments. I was using the 7788 mainly because I had some nice Amprex versions on hand that I wanted to build with. Good catch on the bias point typo. I was planning to use the recommended points from the B-52 article in Sound Practices 15. Grego thought that this tube sounded best at higher currents and used 190V, -2.5V battery bias (not -3.5), at 28mA. Also Pete Millet showed some nice distortion data operating at 166V and 26mA. I think I'll play around with it to find what sounds best. I was trying to get rid of the bypass cap, but I would probably have enough gain even with it in there. A CCS for the heater sounds interesting.
