Thanks blackcorvo for answering my questions. I'm tempted to try some of your suggestions.
I too have some things to add:
1- I've been mainly experimenting with drive channel and trying different diodes,I've made a topic over diystompboxes :

I've found out the most effective way to make drive channel better, without altering too many things is diode limiter (check above link). You can get a nice transition from crunch to distortion.
2- Another interesting thing I found out was this video:

what this guy did is he simply removed C12 2A274K!
I tried this,and it's AMAZING ! when you remove C12, amp will sound clearer and there is an increase in volume. I really suggest trying this and removing it or replacing it with something lower (like 2A272K).
I'd love to know the science behind it,if some one can explain?!
3- I changed my volume pot(B50K) with my bass pot(A50K),now volume is more versatile specially when in drive mode. It's a simple effective tweak. :dbtu:
