Just thought I'd let you know, I played with lead dress a little and it's sounding much better. I shortened up the grid wires on V1, as well as shortened up the way the caps/resistors are attached to V1. I removed the Orange Drop 0.047 and replaced it with a Mallory 150 0.047 uf cap I had because it was smaller and allowed me to pack things in better.

After doing this I notice a lot more clean sustain! Thanks for the tips.

Next thing I might try is teh 330 pf brite cap. It's a little harsh right now, but I'll give it time. From some of the posts I've read, it sounds like you have to put in more hours on the amp and then it will get less ice-pick bright on the Bright setting.

Mark.
Great to hear!
Put some hours on that suckah..
Remember kids...Always adjust for minimum smoke!

thanks. I guess I read that wrong. I will try the 330 pf for the trebble. Thicker sounds good to me! Maybe later the 120 pf bright cap ;)
