SuperBass-ish to JEL-ish mod; clip added

No and I don't have it. The schematic I have shows it across the 100k cathode follower cathode resistor but in other Friedman amps I've seen it on that plate resistor. I do have a cap on the 100k cathode resistor but it is only 250pF. I just reused the Treble cap from when it was a SuperBass. I think it was to tame the excessive brightness but I handled that differently. In that recent Tone Talk with Jason Tong Dave mentions how most people are set back a bit by the JEL.

Yeah I meant to say the V2B Cathode 100K resistor not plate resistor. I've never seen someone put a snubber cap on that location before. It sounds like it is fairly transparent at least not making it sound boxy at all. I'll have to keep that in mind on my last project.

Anyway Spider this JEL mod sounds really killer...how does it stack up against your 1980 2203?

I've been playing it more today but my ears are shot. Tomorrow morning I'll compare with fresh ears. I'm really loving it. To me it's quite different than the Super Lead which I still love the most. But for getting chunky and thrashy I really love it. Maybe it's that it feels different plus it has more bottom.

The '84 cab with orig vented T75s and this head (and the 2203 too) love each other. That's what was in the clip.
