Do you know the way to (san) Jose?

When putting the Jose pre-tone stack in an already built Marshall I'm sure the part of shoehorning in the 10k resistor and big cap (anywhere from .22uF to 1uF) in between the cathode of the cathode follower and the tone stack has been done a million different ways. I'm making my hombrew Superbass turned JEL mod into a Jose and thought I'd try this. It's kind of klugey but its just that one spot, everything else should look kosher. You think there going to be a noise problem grounding that 100k cathode resistor (the blue Beyschlag peeking from underneath the cap) right there at the base of the terminal strip? I know I've seen it done before but never heard it. That is a hot/sensitive area so I was trying to keep it contained.

There will be a shielded cable connected to the the unsoldered tab going to the MV.

The MV will be where the chopstick is pointing with a 3-way Era switch next to it.

I'm just now getting started on the conversion so I can back up and redo it. I know I stole the Treble cap turrets and moved the Treble cap to point-to-point on the controls on my 50W Jose but decided to try it different.
 
Ready for phase 1 listening. Phase 2 is a Metro loop. Typical 1N4749 and MPSA06 for starters.
