Your right, I do.
Most Croft preamps have a fairly high output impedance, though some have been modified to include a cathode follower stage to lower the output impedance.
Glenn does do this if requested.
If the standard output is connected to a low input impedance power amp, of say 10K which is quite common with Solid State, the operating characteristic of the output stage in the Croft is affected badly. The following impedance needs to be 100K or more IMO. It is the classic impedance mis-match.
Put more simply always follow a low impedance output with a high impedance input for trouble free operation.
PS Great news on the amp Steve.
I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan
