I was unclear. I was meaning if you overdrive a vac in general, not necessarily in this circuit. I've did it on my 291 clone. I had to attenuate the input a bunch so it wasn't kazooing on me and then bring it back up to volume on the other end.<BR>

Careful on this. Vactrols make anything going through them sound like a<BR>
kazoo when they are overdriven.<BR>
