I just fixed it, replace 10K resistor from the FET drain with a 20K trimmer. Solder the single leg to one of the legs that are next to each other. Adjust to taste and you are cooking! J.

I have RCA metal can 308, sketchy National 308 acquired out of china, and Ti and NJR op07. <br /><br />The RCA sounds good. The china-sourced chips sound wrong - like glitchy. The NJROP07 sounds more earthy / gritty / organic and i sort of love it. I haven't tried the Ti part, which is what ProCo currently puts in RATs. The NJR part is substantially _slower_ than the Ti, which could be a good thing.

Is it some mistake or them all work that way? first i were thinking that its some problem with 201, but i tried different ones (and even 5457) - all the same. Tweaking bias is not solve problem too.
