Sorry for the the post earlier, I was on a different account. The tone/volume mod is super easy and just what I needed. I am just learning the finer points of soldering and was a bit leery of the PCB board due to the small parts and all that. Well it went real easy with exception of clearing out solder on a couple spots. All my soldering experience has pretty much been guitar pots, switches, and repairing cables. Oh, and I can "sweat" a pipe too I have a handful of very nice pedals and really dont need the amp to have tone control...for now. I am very pleased with how this amp sounds! I played every small valve amp I could get my hands on in the last couple years and this one was on the bottom of the list as far as sound quality goes. Now it sounds IMHO better than my friends stock Vox with tube upgrades by a long shot and I liked his amp a lot.

Now I have a follow up question of sorts. I feel as though the highs are too sharp even through my "darkest" guitar. I am wondering if there is a resistor or cap that can be swapped out to tame the "ice pick" a bit. I already have a home made treble blocker installed behind the grill, which does help, but I would like to run the amp with just a tuner and a wah and not feel like I need my EQ. Thanks again all who made this thread what it is!
