  1. some more important mods are actually missing: -
    R97 should be lowered to 8.3k, replace R122 with 68k and replace C21 with .015uF

    these parts have an impact on the filter resonance

    the "decay" pot somehow also has a different behaviour than on a TB (its a lot less impact), not sure whats behind this.
