Where do I find your Sweetness schem at?

This change in impedance must be why the JFET buffers are known for a "tubey" sound?

keep in mind that this is a subtle change, not an overt one and will certainly not turn an average tone to gold!

As for the "tubey" sound, there is more to it than that I believe, and I don't think that it really fits, to me at least JFETs sound like JFETs, tubes, like tubes and BJTs like BJTs.

Also the same logic follows for BJTs in a emitter follower configuration.

It occurs to me that my bout with the flu is hitting my brain as well. I should have said that the relevant formula is the parallel resistor formula not Ohm's Law.

Damn flu! :oops:
