I've been messing around with my 2204 build, trying some different things I've been finding on some schematics. One of the changes is adding a footswitchable gain boost. The schematic I'm referencing switches a 47k/1uF in parallel with the cathode resistor on the 3rd stage. My 3rd stage is already 820r with a 3 way switch for either 0.68uF or 22uF bypass caps. So I figured I'd try the concept on the 2nd 10k stage. I'm using the footswitch to bring in a 10k/1uF in parallel. It functions as expected, and does gain it up, but it's a bit too much bottom end. I'm wondering if a lower bypass cap would work better? Something like 0.68uF or 0.047uf? I realize it's the sum of all parts, but I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions?
