Ive got the cab sim already out on a breadboard just waiting for TDA2822D  to arrive.
is this better?
Yes. Although C28/29 serve no purpose whatever.

My theory is that it is meant to add some mojo in there, as film cap in parallel supposedly lowers ESR of electrolytic (it can, but I never got to listen a side-by-side comparison).

Because audiophools believe high frequencies magically 'go through' the smaller cap instead of the bigger one.
They don't. That's not how electronics works. ::)

I have no idea if the chip will like having the 2 inputs tied together. If it doesn't mind that, then it's a good scheme. Then there's maybe no need for reducing the volume pot as low as 1k, although again, I've no idea what effect a shared 1k pulldown will do versus separate 10k pulldowns.
If R33 ends up less than 10k, then C25 might need to be bigger. I wouldn't be afraid to use a polarized type if it does.

Do they??



Long answer is: they drink the koolaid. Saying electrolytics bad, but all is forgiven with a film cap. Forgetting that there are already 12-1,200 electrolytics in the path from sound to head, and one more is insignificant.

the original astrosim idea did have a headphone vol control....but i changed it at the last minute...

from the 100n>>>> (split off section......)
             
       pot lug 3^

pot lug 2 to headphone input on opamp

pot lug 1 to vb.

i see so basically remove r16 (6.8k) and R31 (100K)   and shove a pot in  bleeding signal to VB
