Voi cosa ne pensate ?

My reading of the curves and calculations are shown below. Hoping to make it as clear as possible, I used nomenclature matching the GE chart. The math is nothing more than the simple but extremely powerful Ohm's law. As you can see I used the recommended plate current to get started, and arrived at the same Ec1 too. Note the load line is well below the Ec1 = 0 knee, and Blencowe recommends this for guitar. Gain is about 75, which is only a little higher than the typical 12AX7 using 100k Ra. The other examples cited seem to be using much higher resistances, resulting in much higher gain. The grid leak bias probably results in less grid bias (maybe ~1V), and that might work better with higher Ra.
This data sheet suggests for Class-A1 amplifier operation:
Eb (V) 100 250
Ec2 (V) 100 100
Ec1 (V) -3.0 -3.0
Ib (mA) 2.9 3.0
Ic2 (mA) 0.9 0.8
From this, assume Ec2 = 100V, and a DC operating point at Ib = 3 mA. For center bias on the load line, Eb will be Ebb/2 and Ra will be Eb/Ib.
1) For Ebb = 290V, center bias Ra will be 290/2/0.003 = 48.3k
2) Choose Ra = 47k. Load Line Io = Ebb/Ra = 6.2 mA
3) Choose Ec1 = -3.0 crossing LL at approximately Ebb/2, Eb = 150, Ib = 3.0 mA
4) Read Ic2 at Eb & Ec1 = 0.82 mA
5) Rc2 = (Ebb - Ec2)/Ic2 = 232k
6) Ik = !b + Ic2 = 3.82 mA
7) Rk = Ec1/Ik = 785Ω
