Abstract
Disclosed is a configurable dual vacuum tube triode amplifier. The amplifier comprises two vacuum tube triodes and a user configurable switching component. The user configurable switching component can be positioned into at least a first position and a second position to modify an arrangement of the two vacuum tube triodes to provide varying tonal characteristics of the amplifier. Positioning the user configurable switching component in the first position arranges the two vacuum tube triodes in a cascode configuration to achieve a tonal characteristic of a vacuum tube pentode. Positioning the multi-position user switch in the second position arranges the two vacuum tube triodes in either a single vacuum tube triode configuration to achieve a tonal characteristic of a single vacuum tube triode operating alone or two vacuum tube triodes operating in a parallel configuration to achieve the tonal characteristics of two vacuum tube triodes operating in parallel.
