I considered Wayne BA 2018 Linestage, but it seems like overkill. I haven't recently looked at the others.lhquam,
Does the Wayne BA 2018 Linestage fit the bill?
The Salas DCG-3 and the AKSA-Lender Preamp are two other projects that come to mind.
I might consider a 1:2 step-up transformer if the F6 wasn't already using transformers which limit then bandwidth and introduce their distortions.
Been running F6 with various pre’s for I’d say 20 cycles @ 4 hours a cycle. I checked bias it was .330 both sides & offset was under .005. Why does the bias drop?? I warmed it up considerably when first built with all sheet metal/case enclosed. I set bias @ .6. Ive reset and staying hooked up to see what transpires. Any thoughts are welcome.
I asked earlier about some parts and values that I've ordered. I didn't ask about this one, the safety capacitor - https://www.mouser.co.uk/ProductDetail/81-DE2E3SA332MA3BY2F/
It's already on it's way, is it ok for 230v? If not I'll have to find another from somewhere.. If so, which one would you recommend please?
Thanks in advance for you help!

Completed my F6 build today. Got caught on the LED polarity being different on the two boards and also had to follow the change of R7 & R8 to 3.3K and use 6.8 volt zeners. One channel seems more stable on bias than the other, even after an hour so will monitor it. Chassis is one I bought over 10 years ago, EBay I think.

I have the same match up. They do sound good together. I just finished building the Pearl 2. And she sings beautifully with B1 and F6.Using B1 Korg NuTube preamp which does mate very well with it.
Congratulations!
