Hey guys, pretty new here - so forgive me if this isn’t the proper venue for such a question.
I have a crystal with some NOS components. Opened it up a while back and saw the cap tied to the master volume was .0015 instead of .022 like both on the board and on every JM layout out there. What effect would this have on the amp, and should I change it to .022?
Again, sorry if this is the wrong venue for this sort of question. I figured you guys know more about this circuit and it’s influences than anyone else. I’ve only ever modded fenders, but browsing around here the last few days has really pushed me to want to learn more and eventually give it a go at a build. Anyways. Thanks.

The cap you've circled is a coupling caps (couples the stages). Larger values (0.022uF) will let thru more bass frequencies; smaller values (0.0015) will cut the bass a bit.
