Gotta say, it saves a LOT of time when tweaking an amp for a player if the builder and player are the same person. 8)

On reviewing an Orange TH30 schematic, I notice they dump 50% or MORE of the signal to ground after each stage. This is partly what makes Trainwrecks so wild and loud--no intentional signal shedding! Since I'm in non-traditional mode, I raised the value of C8 coupling cap from 0.002u to 0.01u, and replaced R7 (33K) with a 220K/220K voltage divider. Man, what an awesome improvement. Now my bright switch and Presence controls are useful and not painful. Tone controls now sound great at noon.

I would complain at you while saying that I have considered a similar thing.

It's a pinchy Express that can't make harmonics after 5 on the volume. lol
Signatures have a 255 character limit that I could abuse, but I am not Cecil B. DeMille.
