My next amp design will have a switch that changes resistor choke to inductor choke, removes the rectifier valve emulator resistor, while increasing the filtering, all at the same time to implement a vintage/modern power supply switch. This is possible by using a multi pole relay and a simple toggle switch.
I've already done the increased filtering and valve rectifier thing on the last amp I built and it work great, but they are seperate switches.
Right on man. Wished you lived next door to me hehe. I may have to run this by Jerry(FJA)and see if he would do this for me.

Thanks for the input Paolo!

He pretty much lost me with the tongue thing right off the bat though to be honest.
