dale	hey Ray............. i did what you said with c5, the cap on vr1 of the jubilee. man, i've dumped caps like that before, but geez, you were right as rain !!! the amp is now literally 30-40% thicker !! i like the gain set at about 2:00, and at that point it lets too much high end thru. and since i don't use the rhythm clip pull switch, i removed the wires from that and used it to add the cap back in so i could a/b it. the difference is nite and day. and no muddyness, just thick fat tone. now i can't wait to gig with it, but no gigs coming up soon. i'm dyin !!! S thanks ray, you made my day, or should i say month!! dale ps--what in gods name do you think marshall does this for? i mean, you have to choose a gain level you may not like to get the tone where you want it. i understand caps that compensate for bedroom levels, but it should be designed to have no effect past television volumes. oh, and one other thing---approximatly what frequency was c5 [.001] passing?
