tube synths

[Ken Stone]

Another obvious, and probably simple tube circuit that would no doubt be
embraced is a full wave rectifier/frequency doubler, perhaps using
12AX7(etc) as input stage and 6AL5 as rectifier.

Eric, how much variation can your circuits take in the ht line? The
transformer I have looks like spitting out +/- 170v when rectified.
