SS Remods Working Out

I re-instituted the stock values of 4k7 at input Q emitter, 3/15k [3 parallel 15k], I decided to add a third one and see if I liked it.
 I like it much better with the stock values, for the amount of tweaking it would take to figure out how I 'really' would want those resistors, I'll stick a booster in it or on it to compensate...like I'm doing now.
 It takes the Fuzzes and Boosted input much nice now, I think I was too close to the 'edge' on the values of the input R's on the emitters.
 The treadle pedal case mod turns out is quite good even with tho the best part of the heel back travel is fine tuning of slow speeds, by tapping the toe down on it occasionally and repeadedly [produces a very fast  sweep],  I get the effect of slow swoosh, whishawe whoops 'I'm over heearre' whawhe whoops 'now I'm over here...in a different part of the sweep cycle...slow to med sweeping, this effect is quite cool, and it seems to want to slow right near the 'top part' of the cycle [also called sweet zone], and it's turning out not to be that hard to get control over the midspeed sweeps anyway, just takes a 'careful' touch near toe down.
 ..Still considering pot tailoring resistors to make the fine tuning of the slow section occupy alot less pot travel.
 It would seem one could put a momentary switch on the speed control for short bursts of faster speed cycling, the effect is noteworthy!!! Or could this lead to switch noise?
 The SS never sounded better, Full PHase effect is achieved [it seems] with the volume loss [compared to unity], and it is easier to use with other pre-post effects...[post effects I'm not so sure suffer from the volume drop fix mods, mine I think was distorting with the upped R Values I'd used].
Convention creates following, following creates convention.
