those volume pots you show in the video. are they linear or audio taper? i have audio tapered pots in my amp so I thought the resistor trick might not be for me.
secondly, if you don't mind me asking, why would the resistor on the pot bring up the mid first? does it have to do with impedance because of the added resistor?

I used mallory 150's in this amp ..on purpose

Certain details are Key others are unimportant ...unfortunately you have to do enough of this stuff to separate the BS & snakeoil from the real keys to the sound ..
Note: I did not use KT66's, Mullard caps or a JTM45 type OT

This is really helpful. I just picked up a YBA-1 and am going to perform a JTM 45 mod on it. Glad you are pointing out where things are too. I wasn't sold until you played a bit of Stepping Out. You've got that nice midrange going on and even more gain than Clapton had back in the day. Almost Eric Johnson like tone. Beautiful.

You are definetly nailing "The Bluesbreaker Tone". I'd like to hear some more of your playing using this tone. Thank you for a very in depth explaination, I hope to learn electronics enough to work on and build my own. I'll be saving this video for when that day comes.
I don't know for sure what the pots are and it does not matter I usually adjust the taper by ear the mids come up first because they can push through the signal side of the pot quicker ... to hear this effect in another original amp check out the 1969 plexi bass 50 video
