Oops, put the wrong layout with it. The one posted was my first attempt to add a bax style tone stack to it (that failed), so ignore. Here is the correct layout. Mods, could you delete the layout from the previous post? Pretty please :tu:

One of my pals built a TA-16 around 1974. He wanted more treble, so he put .001uf capacitors across all resistors in series with the signal path. Worked ok.

and how does one do such a thing?lso like to build a new cabinet for it. both will happen, but first id like to try the caps.

Sounds like he literally soldered one leg of the cap to one left of the resistor then the remaining leg of the cap to the remaining leg of the resistor.  This could be done on the top or bottom of the PCB depending on how much leg is visible on the resistor.

any ideas as to how this would sound? seems like an easy fix.
