Making a Liverpool more versatile
Right now I have a 5e3, Ampeg Gemini ii, little Vox/MatchlessMatchless-esque amp. My next slow build is a Liverpool. It seems like that covers similar territory of the low-watter. Just wondering if there's Marshall-ish switchable mods or if something like a switchable tone stack (standard vs Bandaxall or with a shift control) that could add a tad more versatility and cover uncovered territory.

For me the mod I did was a PPIMV on my Liverpool and it really helps as that thing is loud!!

In theory, theory is the same as practice. In practice it's different.

The first thing you can do is switch between a 50pF treble cap and a 500pF treble cap. The 50pF cap sounds smoother.
You could try the Komet cathode bypass resistor/cap combination?
That is the 2.7K/0.68uF on the first triode and 1.5K/22uF on the tone control return stage. That would be more similar to a Marshall first stage.
