Negative Vgs increases the depletion region, limiting the current. Largest current is when Vgs = 0. Smallest current at pinchoff Vgs = VC . I ds depends on the channel resistance rds . The channel resistance is a function of Vgs EE521 pg. 2
For small vds there is roughly a linear relationship between vds and ids . The slope ids / vds = 1/ rds The slope decreases as Vgs becomes increasingly negative. This increases rds As vds increases, the amount of current that can pass through the channel will plateau, and the current will remain constant.

As vds increases, it begins to narrow the channel near the drain. Once vds , the channel will actually pinch off. Since it is only near the drain, charges will still tunnel through. However, the further increasing vds will not allow any additional current through. ids remains ~constant.

C20 charges to Vs through Q2 and the 50 k resistor at the input of U3 (LM386). Since Vds is small, Q2 is in the VCR region rds is controlled by Vgs

AF2 has a DC bias VAF 2 6.65 V-DC Control voltage is established by the voltage division of 8V by R6 D5 and D6 are Schottky diodes (V f 0.2 V).
Max voltage at control point (Multimeter) should be VAF 2 with D5/D6 open Due to current leakage through the Schottky diodes, and the fact that a small current through R5 leads to a large voltage. Thus, max control voltage ~7.2 V pg. 8

What is the control voltage at pinch-off? If VAF 2 = 6.65 V-DC, what is VC ? About a 104:1 ratio in the max to min signal level. Note that the shape of the curve and the voltage at which the audio voltage begins to drop is dependent on your J309.
