I am putting together a Paragon Mini, and decided to try the Paragon mods documented by @ckaudioeffects in this very helpful thread. Here's the Google Drive link they included in that post, laying out the mods on the "standard" Paragon PCB.
I compared the schematics and identified the relevant capacitors to swap values for, but I realized I just made a mistake. On the Paragon board, C4 and C15 are modded from 10n to 22n, which would be C4 and C17 on the Paragon Mini.
However, looks like I accidentally put a 22nf cap in C3 on my Paragon Mini, and kept C4 at 10n. On the PCB, the two channels appear to be laid out pretty much identically, except I just realized C3-C4 and corresponding C16-C17 are in opposite orders between the two channels on the PCB.
My question: is this going to matter? Should I bother trying to desolder and correct? I'm terrible at desoldering, so a bit reluctant to try.
It seems weird just these two values are swapped when other components such as all the resistors are laid out the same way between the two channels otherwise. Could it be a mistake? Not sure how I can check now that I've populated the components.
I guess I know this won’t make much of a difference but I’m a bit perplexed. I wish I had noticed before populating these.
