I know. I didn't post that, I quoted it from American Viking. But I don't think he intended to mislead or imply that all the tubes (and certainly not both triodes from each) were used for preamp gain stages. The 12Ax7 next to the power tubes is always the phase, bro. I even throw my 12Ax7s intended for the phase on my hickock to make sure the triodes are closely matched, even though the tolerances of the components on both sides of the phase circuit may not be exact. Why not, right?
