I love my OTS, but, I have done some research and found that  Dumble #124's preamp cap and resistor values are quite different from the OTS that I have. I was desiring that raw, open, gritty overdrive sound that Ford and Carlton have. This amp is amazing and the cleans are very satisfying, just what I was hoping for, but the overdrive is too smooth and not quite bright enough. I've been using it for a little over a year now and hoped it would open up as it got more use. The S&M version is very close to #124 specs, if not right on. The clips that Sami has on Youtube were what sold me on the amp, but by the time I could order my kit, the layout had been heavily modified. I didn't notice this until I started my build and had to print out the newer layout for my build.
Question for Nik...do you, or, would you sell the cap and resistor kits to modify back to original specs? 

you could try clipping one of the snubbers (try the one closer to V1) for more grit. Also raising the cap on the presence control was said to make the amp more Carlton-esque, on amp garage. Raising that cap effects the frequency the presence effects, a lower cap will affect the higher treble frequencys giving a more hifi sound while raising the cap will bring it into slightly lower treble frequencies that is said to give that carlton, brightness and grit
