Hi All,

I finally got one, after waiting 4 decades! This Cascade combo is in excellent shape, but I'm wondering if the 1/3 second burst of moderately loud hum upon power-up is related to the age of the electrolytic caps--this gem is almost 40, after all.

Also, the Red Llama and Zendrive clones that sound fine with my tube amps just bring out the 'fizz' in this combo; are there any favorite OD/distortion units with owners of these amps? Or is the aluminum dust cap factoring in here?

If the amp never makes it to the stage for lack of sweet distortion sounds it's OK...I've lusted after these amps since before I knew what lust was, and my present 'object-of-lust' loves this unit as a "design element"; so she's a keeper, too!

Thanks in advance, for any answers on schematic availability, caps, or OD choices--sincerely,

tom o
