I would like to change my hi-gain VTA board in my ST-70 to a lo-gain. I have aready replaced the center tube with a 12AU7. I would like to know which resistors I change, and to what value.
thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,
Below are the resistor sets for the standard gain and the lower gain driver boards. The numbers on the right side are Mouser Electronics part numbers. Some of the numbers could be out of date and changed.
An asterisk notes which resistors are different between the two board configurations
Unless noted all resistors are 1/2 watt
R40 - R43 are not on the board but are the 4 bias resistors
R44 is a 2.2K resistor that is not on the board but goes between sections 3 and 4 of your quad cap

Bob thanks. You mention the (4) bias resistors, and the resistor on the quad cap, but there is not an asterisk by them. So I replace them also?

No - You already have them there since you have the VTA driver board already installed.

That's what I thought. Thanks!
