You can grab a 330pF 1kv ceramic cap and clip it (using test leads..be careful) in parallel across the .022 cap that goes to pin#2 of the phase inverter tube. A 500pF is more noticeable but also alters the frequencies. Again, I have no clue why it works and I wish I could answer that!  
After you clip it in there play some lead stuff for a few minutes and then take the cap off and then play the same lead stuff (helps to play the same thing since it's easies to A/B I.M.H.O.) I think you'll hear what it does.
