    The exact function of the 2 preamp tubes in my EHX Black Finger based on this service diagram?

    I have wondered what function exactly the 2 tubes of my EHX Black Finger, tube driven optical compressor has, and how the optical compression circuit is implemented in the circuit? I've managed to find this service diagram on the internet, so if anyone who can read such could translate it to me...

    Will having preamp tubes turned on/off for several short periods of time a day shorten their life?

    I utilize an EHX Black Finger that features 2 preamp tubes, run at 300V plate voltage, as well as an ART Tube MP Project series tube preamp that feature 1 preamp tube, as far as I have gathered run at 70V plate voltage, as part of my "ampless" setup, which I also use for home practice through...

    Unwanted compression

    I'm in the middle of a gig and it sounds like i'm hitting a compressor hard. My soft plucks are nigh inaudible, and my hard plucks just bottom out. I don't know if it's the speaker or the amp.
