Preamp Gain and Output Impedance Calculator

Launch me!

What does this calculator do?

guitar amp preamp output impedance circuit

The calculator calculates a triode amplifier's unloaded voltage gain (the gain without being connected to the next stage) and output impedance based on the triode's characteristics, resistor values, and whether or not the cathode resistor is fully bypassed by a capacitor CK.
