I'm hearing alot less grit in the grind and more clarity than you first vids of this amp, it still has the Cameron tightness and attack. It does sound a bit warmer as other have mentioned as well.

Did you change out the yellow axial polyester cathode caps?

Nope, still there, swapped out the 2200pf and 1000pf cheap ceramic disk bright caps to some NOS philips film for the 2.2nf and NOS 1nf mustards. Also dialed in a little different and also think camera angle and standing waves has something to do with it. The iPhone can get finicky


EDIT: I forgot. The original C1M volume pot I used was kind of under spec. I ran out of all of my “in spec” C1M” pots that measure close to 1M and I used one the measure 880k-ish. I replaced that with a pot the measure a tad over 1M. I instantly noticed the clipping to be a little fuller since the signal is at least 10%+ more isolated from ground at the clippers. But damn it can’t stop tweaking so in”think” thats it. I did also add a 3 way response/dark switch between punch control and presence, but for those recordings it’s still set at 100k NFB

Killer amp. Feels and sounds perfect, for many different tones.
Pretty much hits the spot, and I think it would for most anyone. Versatile.
