Modding NYC Muff

So, I'm repopulating the board of a particularly crappy sounding NYC Muff to GGG Tuned specs. 1% resistors  and wima films throughout.

My question is about the 2 big power filtering 200uf electrolyics in the middle of the board. Will they at all affect the sound if I leave them be, or should I alter their values, or just remove them altogether?

The board is marked 3003 -A

Any other suggestions to make this thing sound its best are greatly appreciated. They guy I'm doing this for plays gritty stoner stuff through Sunn and Orange amps. Should I nix the the WIMAs and go all ceramic?

just for smoothing dc power. leave in. unless you like power supply noise.

wouldn't worry about hi fi components, in a distortion pedal, values matter more than whether it's wima mkp or some generic polyester

Input/output Tants + Green film caps + red leds = doom  :D

I was considering using a couple dpdt toggles to go between 19n1's and LED's. Any suggestions as to where to ties the switch leads in?

Got it done. Boxed up and good to go. On/Off/On toggles on the clipping sections to go between 1n914/no diodes/red 3mm leds.
Sounds sick. I'm going to have to build one for myself.

Thanks for your help folks!
