helping a fellow forumite with shipping this monster abroad. figured i'd post some pictures here to add to the data dumping.
110% original as far as i can tell. AC135 / SFT337 trans. facon caps up top and down below. sounds amazing. absolutely
teh p0rn...
(the one with the newer looking switch is my SFT/SFT)

i like pedals when you know they're on
When I saw you with that lost look on your face saying you had just saw ET, I thought "uh oh, game over" - innerflight

Re: Early Vox Grey Italian-made Tonebender reference (Data D
God damn Cody, that's a beaut!
And it's got the 10nf mustard on the output for extra beef. I've only seen the ones with an AC107 in Q1, with the 10nf mustard cap before. Looks like 0.15uf on the input and a 47k across a 100k volume pot too.
Quite a smooth ride compared to some of the later SFT loaded ones perhaps? Or maybe not, the AC135 can be pretty low gain.

three's a crowd? NEVER another VOX reached its midway point en route to new owner
the one with the orange drop twisted over the stock cap is mine. thick and heavy now with the cap. was good before, but now MOAR GOOD
the newest arrival (middle unit w/white paint on top) surprised me. was expecting it to sound similar to mine before i added the cap when in fact, it does not.
sounds almost identical to my orange drop unit. big, mean, loud, in-your-face VOX Tonebender.
my VOX sounded good w/o the orange cap, but no where near where the white paint VOX is at. lots of gain and sustain. crunchy clean up. the whole package.
would one speculate the cap w/the orange drop twisted across might be failing? would it have to do with the cap on the far left of the board?
p0rn...
if anybody wants specific up-close-n-personal pics of the two arrow switch units lemme know. will have them thru monday evening

the white paint one might have a 100k volume pot instead of 50k, which would give it more low end and output.
