Actually, I was looking at your pic to see how you dressed the plate leads from the 82k & 100k to the tube socket for my build and noticed the cap missing.
Looks like my board has a bit more stuff on it than a standard 2204, so it puts those 2 resistors about an inch further to the left of the PI tube socket. Seemed like an unusually long run when I was wiring it up last night, but I get why now. This thread was the first thing that popped into my head to check for a reference. :D
 
47p fizz cap added. Can you spot one other difference?

Hmmmmm. I'm curious about the advantages of a PPIMV in a 2203 / 2204 style circuit. I like a depth control with this circuit and a PPIMV kinda messes that up.
 
'tis true, the PPIMV will mess with the NFB loop, presence and depth. But for those seeking an inexpensive way to control volume, a dual-master configuration (pre + post PI) is pretty cool. It also enables you to overdrive a fourth stage (the PI) at reasonable volumes. Some may like this...

It allows you to get some extra drive from the phase inverter
 
The owner's buddy (also a guitarist) came to pick up the amp. I played through the amp briefly to demonstrate that the back-panel volume control works, and then I played through my latest V2 Caldera. His eyes went wide when I played the Caldera... :)
