someone recently commissioned a hotcake from me, and since it was on vero there was a little more wiggle room for mods.
i tried 071 vs 741 and found 071 to be shrill and horrid. i added a switch for a slight variation on the madbean mod- less bass, less gain. it's a nice addition, but doesn't fix the issue. both XLF and BB mods were installed. they helped a little, but that crackle was just driving me nuts.
my solution, hereby known as the Purple Cat Mod, is a 220pf and blue LED's in the feedback loop. it doesn't remove ALL the crackle, but it seems to help. until the gain is dimed those LED's barely light up. it's the most subtle bit of soft clipping that made it a little more modern and usable
