allright, here it goes.
i'll say right off the bat, if you want to play heavy metal with this thing, forget it.
i can see why blues and rock players like it though.. at lower gain stages, it does overdrive the amp a bit, but at higher gain, it just adds noise and nothing else.
i moded it, with what parts i had at home, and the noise level is slightly lower, compared to stock, it is also percievably louder, but at a certain volume, it stops doing anything but adding noise, since you cant percieve that small increase of volume.
it tightens the amp up, a small bit though.
moded it from a couple of pointers from peeps i've been talking to, aswell as the things Erik, has written on its page.
gotta say, it's easy as eating pie and you can hear the results, but like said, unuseable for metal.
gonna change the C7 and D4 and see how it fares then.
plus:
less noise, more volume, slightly tighter responce
minus:
doesnt work at higher gain setting.
and again, good for blues and hard rock, but dissapoints at metal (though you can play iron maiden stuff on it.. aswell as judas priest.. and a lot of classic metal. lets just say 80's stuff it does well... but a bit more modern, turn somewhere else, cos it dissapoints.)

But I hear what you're saying and I will agree there, older classic metal it's fine for but for newer, gainier stuff, definitely look at something else.
