I recently was looking at some Garnet schematics and came across the built-in fuzz/distortion circuit they called the "Stinger". Has anyone player an amp with this feature? How does it sound? Being in the US I've never seen a Garnet in person.
The design is intriguingly simple---a parallel input gain stage that uses a 6AN8 with the signal going into the pentode section of the tube which is grid-leak biased and direct coupled into the triode section. The sound is then mixed into the parallel normal input stage's output. The one thing I'm not clear on is that since the fuzz/distortion it goes through two gain stages wouldn't be out of phase with the normal input stage's signal?
