Jim Radmer	Re: Classic Tube Revealed!! (initial report) I am the one with a DOD FX53. I have tried a few cap changes with very little luck. It is too dark for my use (into a Blues deVille) but it has a basically good sound i think. I bought it after sound testing it against a TS-9. It has a very funny gain setup, where the last 10% og the gain pot increases the gain to a totally wild scream with a large volume boost. If you find a way to get more highs I would like to know. I think it's worth a mod. It could get very useful.
