Thanks for the confirmation. For those who might be interested, I've had a chance to check out the results of the 470 k mod. To my ears, this mod significantly smoothes out the harsh tones that can sometimes come with higher volume settings. The entire volume range is now usable (although the ears are going to need some protection). The amp gets into it's own lovely breakup without any harshness. It's even more of a factor when using pedals. I'm currently auditioning an Xotic BB Plus, which is a very smooth pedal to start with and can go all the way into fuzz territory. There was a bit of a harsh edge on some settings (that pesky g string stuff). Much improved with the 470 added. This is and easy mod and well worth the few cents it costs. (By the way, I'm using a Strat with Fat 50's and a Tele with Kinman Broadcasters.)
