This is worth a read. It describes an upgrade that reduces gain by
10dB - designed to match the higher output levels of more modern

Basically it is a change to the feedback circuit around the input op
amp, originally 330k/22k for a gain of 23dB, now 100k/22k which gives
a gain of 13dB. Does that sound about right?


That does sound about right from my rough measurements.

Thought I'd seen all the mods people did to the 405, but that's a new one
to add. ;-)

Thanks very much, Don.
