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

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.

The pdf is the old instruction set. We highly recommend using the April 2022 online instructions that replace the ribbon cable, the process isn't too bad and it sounds superior to the previous mods. You can do the old mods, but you'll be short one 8" wire that the new kits don't use.
