Looks great Jaz...how do I reorient this thing or see the whole view? If I shrink it I still only get the area showing now. Operator error no doubt.

Nice work!  Grin Grin Grin Just did the tweaks in a few minutes & although could only test at extremely low power- I can already hear the top end is much smoother & has lost that slightly abrasive edge - I suspect that is mainly the removal of the  high pass cap on the master vol?  I've left the other component legs connected so I could easily reconnect them should I want to reverse the mods - might be a useful tip guys?  Not sure what the resistor & the cap on the effex in/outs was doing anyway - anyone know?   Huh?

You sure you did them all? Not all of them were circled. It should take you 40-60 minutes to do them all.

Jack -

I'm re-posting a big thanks here. This is exactly what I and others here needed.

It seems to me that my concern for the caps holding any dangerous reserve current that could harm you is not warranted, that they seem to drain fairly quickly once the OTS shuts off. Has that been your observation or do you take other precautions when working inside your chassis?

I can't wait to get inside the chassis tomorrow!

I was nervous as hell the first time going in also.

Jack...again. Fantastic job on the tweaked layout!

Me too, I could only do a couple as some of the parts I orderd aren't right. I so happy the amp fired up that I'm not sure about the tweeks, I'd say I like them but I need some time to tell for sure.

I realise there's other component changes- I did the real easy one's first & checked the effect on my tone straight away- I can then easily reverse the mods should I not like them- I stopped because the simple mods did the trick as far as I'm concerned- I was already pretty happy with my stock OTS. I may delve further once I've had the chance to try at gig levels, as that's where it really counts!  Thanks again for the mod sheet! Great work!

What does snipping the cap on the master volume do for the tone?
