So. I put two terminal strips on the back side of the chassis. I left the can in place though for looks from the outside.
The amp sounds fantastic now! Reverb is still too bright despite my attempt to turn that .002 cap off the echo pot to .003uf
However I have some new noise. It gets louder when I turn up the treble knob. And the overall noise level of the amp is barely affected by going between single coil and humbucker pickups. I was thinking it may be a ground loop because I left the cap can on and some of the ground connections tom still go there but I’ve grounded most of the filter caps to the terminal strips that I bolted to chassis with star washers and whatnot.
Could the noise be from having filter caps too close to each other? Or maybe I screwed something up while replacing the ceramic caps in the tone stack (I took out a bunch of ceramic caps that looked bad). I also took out the 1 watt 470ohm resistor that connects to one of the filter caps. And replaced it with a 5 watt cement style resistor. Should I ground everything to chassis?
As I said it does get a bit louder when I turn up treble knob but not a ton. When the amp is cranked and I’m playing it’s really not terribly loud. But it’s definitley not right.
And again. Anyone have any ideas on taking he ultra bright reverb decay?
Thanks!!!!
