Yea Ken, the orange drops are great in this preamp. I love the orange drops because they're not just film caps but they're a notch better since they're film/foil caps. The film/foil caps often sound a bit smoother and more natural than plain film caps. BUT, I redid one of mine with just film (no foil) and it's just excellent. I'd leave the stock film caps alone. I'd replace all the electrolytic coupling caps for sure. Also throw some orange drops across the power supply filter caps. This hugely quiets down the amp noise to where you wouldn't even think the amp is on when sitting next to it. Of course you may hear the reverb "hum" but that's a different kind of noise. That's like single coil pickup hum.
