maximus1 said:by changing c14 to 100 pf and r31 to 220k it has become scooped if desied( but it has a decent mid ) and the highs are less fizzy and it seems more present and focused all around, it smoked my 1086 tonight at practice for brutal heavy gain, and it was qiuet. i've also done the grail mods to it and i used 0,0015 in c3 and i like a boost outfront, by far the best recto i've ever heard :twisted:
Modded my recto today using your idea and the grail as a basis. Ended up with two 3position dpdt switches...
Switch 1: C3 as 470pf, 1470pf and 1970pf (depending on position)
Switch 2: C14 / R31 as 100pf/100k, 320pf/45k and 570pf/45k (depending on position)
The switch 1 C3 tight mods have their obvious advantages (although they're more subtle changes than I imagined them to be)
Using switch 2:
With 320pf/45k it sounds pretty stock (stock is 300pf/47k) - kinda like a midway point between the two mods below
With 100pf/100k it sounds like your scooped mod as quoted above - not dissimilar to a recto red channel
With 570pf/45k it sounds nice and rough with a good midrange growl - not dissimilar to a recto orange channel
I used Wima FKP1 caps. Absolutely huge, but they sound pretty good.

Excellent!
