Used J113's, they sounded meatier than the 201s. I also am messing with the input resistors which are only present to remove RF noise in the amp. I may go with some toroidal chokes I got from China..
Also I always like reverse audio taper for gains so I got 2 C1M pots coming before I finally box it.
The model T has this mystique that surrounds it, but it's not so different from a Bassman with a few values changed and a presence control.. it sounds beefy dimed though.
Anyway heres the box, I have been using "Decoart Craft Twinkles" sparkle/glitter paint for over the top glitter shenanigans and it really sparkles.

Put a blend knob in that mixes straight 386 distortion all the way to the left with full on uglyface bleep bloop on the right. Great mod. The LFO and ramp mod are out There, but not a lot of info on tweaking it. I went with the original sensitivity values .. it can still get down to where It isn't always self oscillating .. lots of fun.
