AB763 One channel schematic question

[acheld]

I built an AB763 (DR) several years ago, and I love the sound but now need a physically smaller amp.  And, as Doug states in the One Channel build, "whoever uses the Normal Channel anyway."  In theory, I would have used it; in practice, I just didn't.

So, I'm going to re-use all the expensive bits and rebuild as a Hoffman One Channel AB763 with 6V6's.

While going over the schematics for the Two channel and the One, I see that C22 (both schematics) use a .01uf coupling cap for the Two channel, and a .001uf for the One channel design.  Why would this be so?  On the Two channel schematic, there is the notation "Suggested value."  The original Fender design uses a .001uf cap in this position (I'm not sayin' this is better . . .).

Just curious.  My original amp used the .01uf coupling cap, and it sounds great.

...My original amp used the .01uf coupling cap, and it sounds great.

So why would you use anything else?

Well, I won't do unless there is a good reason not to.

I was curious why Doug made that design decision.

0.001 seems small for "most" coupling-cap applications.

The input to a long-tail is one place where it is not too small.

0.01 or 0.001, about the same cost either way.

This is NOT important.

OK, thanks.

The AA864 Bassman even uses a 500pF in that position.
