 Dear Ceriatone Lightning User,
 
  We have implemented important changes to the Lightning amp that we feel will significantly raise the quality of tone of the amp.
 
  Please view the latest layout on our website.

  Basically, these changes include:
 
  a) Elimination of 1 22uf 450V filter cap and decoupling resistor to the screens of EL84s.
 
  b) Change of resistor from 22K to 4.7K as filter decoupling to cathode follower V2 stage
 
  c) Addition of a cap to the master volume pot
 
  The tone change is significant enough to warrant this call for you to also mod the amp, for much better tone.
 
  We at Ceriatone feel that there's always improvements that can be made, and will update clients with the information when these improvements are found and finalized.
 
  We thank you for your continuous support, and hope you will find more enjoyment with the amp after this modification.
 
  Please email me nik@ceriatone.com if you have any questions.
 
Thanks!

Nik
