Distortr / Distortron low end mod /sub switch question

Just finished a Distortr --- pretty great, natural-sounding distortion pedal. However, I think all three sub settings have just a little too much low end ...And this is coming from a person who LIKES low-end in distortion pedals(!). I've tried switching out C8 from 10N to 100N (suggested in other thread), and while it changes the tone of the pedal in a cool way and does seem to make the 3 sub settings more different from each other, it doesn't really lessen the low end, even in the most rolled off setting. In looking at the schematic, I'm wondering if lowering C7 would roll off a little more subs for all 3? ( Or.....I've wondered if swapping the stock values of C6 and C7 would create a little more difference between the 2 rolled off settings?...but i may be misinterpreting how the 3 way switch works) - I'm definitely a newbie when it comes to understanding schematics, so any advice is much appreciated.

My band mate had the original pedal. I offered him to mod it, but he decided to sell it. The 3 settings go from 56 (middle) to 103 and 876 nF. We planned to change c7 to 10nF and c8 to 56nF. Best to use pin adapter on this spots and try different values.
