Interesting question

Exactly which kind of Paraphase ?

There's a psionic audio youtube video on this.  Just watched it today or yesterday.  If you can't find it post again or pm me.

It's very easy to find a video you just watched today or yesterday. Just go back to YouTube and click on the YOU section and then History. All the videos you have viewed will be listed in chronical order. Then click on the video of interest. Now copy the URL in the address bar and then paste into a message on the board.

All this assumes you are logged into your YouTube account.

Would it be like putting a variable resistor between the 2 grids of the power tubes?

I never seen a PPIMV after a Paraphase so I asked to ChatGPT, the answer Is that It depends on the kind of Pharahase and however not a good match

I've never done it, but I'm considering it currently.  What would the impacts of a simple volume control (signal in the 1 lug, out the 2 lug and 3 lug to ground) connected to the first capacitor from the plate of the first phase inverter gain stage and before the mixing resistor be?
