with a thousand clones on the market, I think this really is the way to go... staying true to your own original

From what I can work out:

- PCB same designators as original

- Gain A100k, Tone B22k, Volume A100k

- Hard to see on video:

Part values seem to follow 1994 revision:

R1 = 27k?
R2 = 33k?
C1 = 10n?
C2 = 10n?

(Assuming no value changes elsewhere.)

This video show the positions of the pots for equal sound of new vs old, from about 4:40:


Something doesn't quite add up if we consider the electronics is identical and the A taper LEVEL pot.
It might makes sense if the video has the old and new units flipped!
