I bought a bottlehead crack w/ speedball a while ago and it came with a bunch of upgrade parts, but I'm not really sure what any of these are or what they do in the amp. Does anyone recognize these parts and where they should go?

Does it currently work? You could certainly enjoy it as-is and not install any more of that.

Some of the parts I see in there look to be replacing parts that aren't in the signal path, so there may be some dubious ideas in here. It looks like there's a bunch of Cree rectifier diodes and a PC board to hold them, and maybe some diodes to do the ground/earth diode isolation mod stickied on the Crack forum. I'm not so sure about the rest of it...

Yes the amp works completely fine no problem, was wondering if it was worth my time trying to upgrade any of the pieces.

The main one I was looking at was the red capacitors, as I've been seeing a lot of people upgrade those, but I have no idea if those ones are the same or what they are supposed to replace in here.

Those red capacitors wouldn't replace anything in the kit.
