You got that right... there are a couple threads associated with it which will allow us to keep this one on the tracks.

Great sounding little amp!

Here is another small platform Wreck style amp where I used the Panasonic "Chicklet" caps. It is the high gain version and it also sounds extremely good!

I was inspired to use the Panasonic caps based on photos of the "Rocket" amps that Ken Fischer built in his later days as an amp builder.
