I was responding to your statements: "My thought was it wouldn't be needed if we were running KT88s because we wouldn't be over driving a KT88 as easily like we would an 8417.My guess was it was used to match the gain of different preamps for just that purpose."1. The input CF input stage has nothing to do with "overdrive" of the finals. It's an input buffer and has no effect on the output stage drive capabilities of the circuit. IOW, the decision to keep it or not would not be based on the finals in use.
2. The input attenuator was in the circuit to match gain. The CF buffer was a nice but unnecessary feature and was probably a secondary benefit of implementing an active filter.
