Mods and upgrades
-
Adding a bypass cap on the rK for V2a is suggested for altering gain characteristics without changing the amp's overall nature.
Source -
Adjusting the NFB with a 100k on 4 ohm or 47k on 8 ohm can greatly affect gain, but also fundamentally alter the amp's character.
Source -
Using dual 10k resistors by the bias caps instead of a single 8.2k can help "brown out" the amp, affecting gain and feel.
