Jumbo tonebender should I mod this?

I have an old Colorsound version which was given to me in a bit of a
state !
New pots/Jack battery cable and a good clean later all is well.
It does sound a bit "boomy" through my system, which when using the
tone knob fairly high, tends to get rid of it, but I'd like the more muffled
settings to have less bass content.
ie: treble roll off but without the bass content coming up so much.

Should I change caps or leave this "old girl" alone ... ??
Is this a BMP tone stack ?

Thanks for your advice,
Marty.

Do the values match this version on Fuzz Central?

Seems if you already had to replace the pots and jacks, it isn't really original anymore...go for it. :wink:

Thanks Fret, why I didn't think of Phillips site straight away is a mystery!
That looks the same to me, perhaps a couple of 0.1uf caps could come
down and sort that out, before the tone stack and on the output / and
input ?

Cheers,
Marty.
