Hey buddy. No need to "surrender," it's hard to tell tone of voice throught text. I  don't want to see anything happen like what happened towards the end of last year, just trying to help. The comment about reading is really to help you better undertand circuits o you can get exactly what you want out of each circuit. Keep in mind as well that you're drescribing the tone, which is suggestive, it's no different then saying you want to warmer, tube-like, etc. so it's very hard to gather what you're looking for. Ya know what I mean?

So, let me try again. There are multiple things that control the overall tone of a circuit, as in the amout of bass and treble you hear. Two of which are the input and output caps. The input cap control show much bass enters and hits the circuit, while the output cap controls how much leaves. The higher the value the more bass you'll get. This is why those of us that play bass will usually change these to suit our instruments. Now, there are other things, like high pass and low pass filters which will cut either lows or highs, some circuit you can alter values in the gain stage to alter what frequencies get distorted, and there's even more.

With this cuircit in the bright mod you are completely removing the output cap, which is cutting a lot of high end. You may want to change the input cap to a lower value to cut some more highs. Now it's a fine line you need to walk. If you go too low the effect can have too much treble and be ice picky. You need to all find a value that you'll like wiht the other settings on the switch as well. When it comes to getting more bass out of a circuit you have to be careful of letting too much bass in and out, because you can end up with an effect that is too muddy.
