Nope, you just don't have to do that step because it's already been converted to 9v PSA power

Thanks for the feedback! I just added some info that should clarify reading the cap values going forward. MLCC caps that replace the electrolytics are not polarized so it doesn't matter which way they're installed and better yet they have no lifespan attached to them and should never need to be replaced.

The voltages at C1 and C8 are going to be much less than 10V so any cap with a maximum voltage rating of 16V to 100V will work fine there.

This is the guide for the supreme kit BD-2.

Hi Ken, Sorry for the late reply, It's a common mod to replace one of the tone stacks with .22's, they are in the kit if you want to try it out. Smooths out the EQ curve and makes the amp a bit more pedal friendly. - John

Thanks for the kind words.

Hi Andy, send an email to john@fromelelectronics.com with a pic of your board and well get you sorted out! Thanks

Yes, from a different mod. It's a pic from an eariier iteration of the kit with a different kind of master volume mod.

Signal routing and bypassing clipping diodes

Sorry for the delay! It's not the worst thing that can happen! You have a couple options. You can either carefully scrape the trace the pad connects to down to copper and solder the component to that or you can run a wire between the component and the next component the trace leads to. In our shop we do both depending on application. Worst case scenario you can take it to a tech or send the chassis to us to repair.
