Removing the Valiant Clipper Circuit.

[Ed/KB1HYS]

Ok, this may be simple but just to be sure, to bypass the clipping circuit in a Valiant, I need to:

Remove the 6AL5 clipper tube
Disconnect C83 from R31 and Pin 5 of the 6AL5 clipper socket.
Disconnect C84 from L45
Connect C83 to L45

I've already recapped it with bigger value caps, I guess I should have done this
when I had it on the bench then.

But then I often do things backwards...

Ed,
You are almost there. 
connect the end of  C-83 that was going to  pin 5 to pin 6 of the 6C4.
Disconnect everything that was on pin 6 of the  6C4. You do not want to put your audio through the frequency limiting network of  C-84 and  L-45.

Nice audio from C-83 directly to pin 6 of the 6C4.
Good bye limiter and distortion.
