Going for anything in particular besides mojo? Like were you chasing a particular fine tuning on the eq? I ask since I've got two of these and I had never got to thinking about the "tweak" portion of the circuit.

it was an experiment. I had these caps on my desk anyway and decided to give it a try.
I kinda like the sound of the Tweak Fuzz and how easily it can be adjusted to different guitars/amps, but all the Tweak settings sounded a bit same-y to me (besides the obvious change in hi cut).
the new (old) caps change the sound to a degree where you have to dial in the amp to accomodate the pedal, but to me it has more character.

I have noticed that on the tweak fuzz that it sounds pretty much the same through all the settings
so this helped with that
did you do anything with the output?
