Three regulators side-by-side, same load step. Pedagogical KO.
Same step, three responses. The self-bias triode droops visibly (no feedback to correct). The series + error amp recovers in ~1 ms. The feed-forward stays nearly flat — the spare triode injects the correction before the loop has had time to react.
