Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Actually, I'm kinda agreeing with you...

My experience with cathodyne or Concertina PI guitar amps is they distort slower and earlier in the volume range, than the usual long-tail PI setups.

Makes for a different overdrive tone. Quite unique. I can tell a usual 12AX7 (7025) cathodyne PI amp just by playing the amp at various volume levels and listening to the response. It's that unique.

Cathodyne PI guitar amps were usually the low-end push-pull amps of the manufacturer's line. So other factors also apply. Like cheaper iron, speakers, and parts.
