The GAIN control will vary the gain of the amplifier over a range of approximately 6 db This control is provided so that the gain of the amplifier can be set to a known value if nec es sary There is no feedback in the amplifier so the gain is directly proportional to the Gm of the tubes The gain is also determined by the output load and will vary with output load in accordance with the relation 2...
