I just picked up a real McCoy Prince of Tone to compare to my Pauper build. Overall they sound very similar, however, the POT has noticeably more "girth". Nothing extreme, but when A/B'ing you definitely get a more "meat" from the POT. I ran the Pauper thru a 10-band EQ and as best my ear can determine I just needed a couple of dB boost around the 250-500 Hz area. What could I attribute this to? Could it be a "capacitor thing"? Most of them have a fairly wide tolerance (+/- 20%) so I'm wondering if such variances could account for these minor differences.
