lion	Re: Marshall Mods / Trace Allen / etc According to the schematics of the Matchless DC30 and the Clubman 35, they are both having 2 paralleled bypassing caps on the cathode resistor on one of the preamp tubes. (0.1//25mf). I'm not trying to step on Trace's toes here, but did Mark Sampson discover the same phenomenon as Trace - or did he just specify 25.1 mf bypas caps - nahh, don't think so? I'm no expert so this could be a long shot. If I'm wrong, what could be the reason for the paralleled caps? lion
