As from Merlin's preamp book there is a way to obtain a triode/pentode morphing effect in little pentodes used in preamps

but is that feasible in the power stage ??  :rolleyes:

is this idea merely stupid ?

This is how I interpret Merlin's Morph control for PP output. The pot could be dual-ganged in such a way that both gangs go to ground in the same direction
