First, good job on the foil shield - it can be a pain to do.
I didn't particularly like the 22pf bleeder cap (across the input and wiper lugs) - I like the smoother, darker response of the amp's tone as its vol pot was cranked. IOW, I feel the tone gets fatter and meatier as the amp vol is increased. Now I get a great, greasy blues tone at 2pm on dial (using a Strat loaded with Keystones or a Tele with Rio Tallboys) ... to my ears, this tone is just perfect. At slightly lower volumes 11 to noon, it cleans up enough for crisp fingerstyle ragtime or blues pickin' Wouldn't have happened without yer 3 killer mods - thanx again!
I think I'll work on some A/B mp3 demos 'tween the two amps before #1 gets the speaker mod.
