Three-tone is good for testing distortion in conventional amplifiers,
however, if the screen voltage remains constant during the three-tone
test in a G2DAF amp. (which seems likely) it would not pick this sort of
thing up. The best test is probably ordinary speech since it produces
wide changes in the screen potential in the G2DAF circuit. .
