hmm. i guess i'll have to be more careful with those kits then and do my homework. i've got a few amp mods and pedal mods and builds under my belt and i understand electronics, so i figure that if i use my brains and try to see how the actual circuit works, i should be fine.
alot of their clones are based on preamp stages of famous amps. and i've done so much studying of my valve junior that i can probably just follow through the schematic and figure out what to do. just like when i added a tone stack to that amp. :D
