I have a Top Boost and Blackface module. Both have 470ohm resistors in R1.
I noticed that in my 1086, R1 is 150ohms... but R3 is also 150ohms, whereas on the Top Boost and Blackface R3 is 470ohms like the R1.
What is the function of R3 and would changing the resistor from 470 to 150 do anything beneficial? It seems like it would if Randall started using 150 ohm resistors there too.
Also, for people that have done the Clean Mod with the 150 ohm resistor, did it change the TONE of the module? Someone said it killed the tone and that a 330 ohm resistor was better.
