Cap replacement results

JD Sleep	Cap replacement results Well I've only had time to replace the caps in the 2 Small Stones. To my ear there is no change. I think maybe they sound a little better, but that's probably my wishful brain, not my ear. They sound pretty good, the funny thing is, when I went to test-listen to them BEFORE the change, they didn't exibit a volume drop when switched on. Leads me to believe that the volume drop has something to do with being in the signal path with several other stompboxes...maybe??? I dunno...maybe it has something to do with different power supplies? MKB - are you using battery or AC adapter? are you listening to it alone or with other stompboxes? JD
