VTM60 Bright Cap Location

Post by sefidle » Wed Oct 13, 2021 5:58 pm

I've had my VTM60 for about 20 years now and I love it. But what I'm finding on here is that a lot of people agree that the brightness is just a bit too harsh. I'd like to try removing the so-called bright cap out of my amp, but I have no idea which cap that is, or where it is located, and I'm getting mixed information on it being C1 or maybe it's C2, and also which board it might be on... Does anyone have a photo of the location of this capacitor? Or even a schematic specifying which component this is.

Thanks, and apologies if this has been asked a million times. I just can t find it anywhere.

C1 adds brightness. C2 adds brightness, but less and less as you turn up the volume. When control is all the way up, C2 is shorted across by it. C4 also brightens the signal.
