Tony, AFAIR all the ODS amps I know of with such a "h. f. taper" control are high plate amps. Right now, not even a single low plate ODS comes to my mind that has such a (internal or external) "h. f. taper" control. Do you know of a low plate ODS with a "h. f. taper" control and do you remember its serial number?

Have a great time!

Max..I hope you are well!!
You had pasted my quote before I had a chance to edit it thinking some out there would think Dumble did this mod on the low plate amps.. (we've had this discussion before).. Obviously the HF taper works the same on both high and low plate amps, (IMO the low plate amps do have a brighter clean and OD timbre than the high plate amps).. I know that Robben's 102 had the HF taper before the upgrade to high plate so perhaps he might have thought the same as me,who knows..
FWIW..I know some out there like the HF taper but for me personally I prefer not to use either the HF taper or the snubbers if I don't have to as I think they subtract from the harmonic character..Sorry if there was any confusion out there
