JFET Bass Preamp

I wanted a warm, tube-like sound with as few stages as possible. I believe that part of the clarity and directness of a tube amp comes from the fact that there are so few phase invertions compared to a normal solid state (not to mention the different kinds of unpleasant distortions made by op-amps). So I came up with the absolute minimum setup: Two (inverting) gain stages and one source follower/impedance converter. JFETs, because they behave similar to tubes at overload conditions (of course, nothing but a tube really sounds like a tube…)
