Hi All,
I have updated the schematic of the Ruby Tuby. This version now has the following additions:
- OPAMP (1/2 a TL072) in front of the tube
- A Volume control at the input of the LM386
I am getting very close to a good hybrid amp. I will play around with various caps and other stuff like that to see how I can change the sound a bit. I tried adding a very simple low pass filter (i.e. a pot + a cap) right before the volume control but, it basically lowered the output of the amp too much. I will investigate other types of tone controls.
Here is the link:

You need to cut and paste the URL in a new window.
Thanks,
Stephane.
I may have some updates for you soon. I'm right now busy zapping myself with other tube projects. I'll let you know soon.

Hi Andrew,
no sweat, I really appreciate your help! If I can, I would like to remove the opamp that drives the tube. Keep me posted!
Stephane.
