Here's a quick and dirty low quality, low volume clip. SAT switch engaged.

Sounds pretty cool to me

Sounds cool. I notice the gain is maxed out. Do you have any bright caps on it?

Sounds great.. you were playing that riff without using the Kamikaze?

Sounds great. It’s got that low mid growl I love.

Killer job tinkering. Is this straight in no boost?

My amp has the pregain on 10 all the time too. It gets the rest from the SD-1 I boost it with.

I just tried paralleling various caps across my 68k input. Sorta acts like another gain increase and mid boost.

I ended up at 8nF as my preferred value. It let me then dial back my bass in my tonestack to tighten the amp up and add some punch. I did have to dial my treble back though - it’s also boosting highs.

No bright caps.

The Kami needs some nut adjustment/neck relief before it's playable again (It's an LTD 500K from 2003)

No boost, gain maxed.
