tube breaker

[bukas]

so i was "thinking" is it possible to combine blues breaker and tube driver and came up with this idea. take red part of tube driver circuit and replace it with yellow part of bbreaker circuit???






is it stupid or crazy ?  xD

Well, yes you could!  You may need to tweak a few components, but I see no reason that it wouldn't work.  It will sound different; you would lose the buffer in the 'red part', and gain much more distortion from the clipping section in the yellow part.  You may need to adjust the signal level into the tube to taste, also, since I imagine it would put out a higher signal (just a guess from glancing).

I don't know if it will sound good, or even much different than the 'yellow part' alone, though.  Why don't you breadboard it and try it!!  Keep the .1uf cap and input/pulldown resistor in the red part!
