Hi All

I am going through a tough time in my life right now in which I have had
an urge to buy a few things that I have always wanted but in the past
were too young/broke/clear headed to obtain.

Now in my mid 40's I am now older,not AS broke and a bit foggy in the brain. My sweet sweet wife bless her heart has named my affliction a "mild midlife crisis" and only needs to take the occasional Tylenol to control the mild headaches caused by her frequent eye rolling every time I try to assure her just what of a fantastic deal on whatever guitar/motorcycle/RC Monster Truck/whatever I am currently drooling over.

OK enough babbling.......

I just bought the most beautiful X320 on Ebay which I assume had the Supercharger Kit installed because of the stickers on the knobs.It came
with just one module which is the "power overdrive".

A few questions

1. What exactly came with the kit?
2. Does it change the way the 2 on/off switches for the modules operate?
3. If only having one module plugged in,does it matter which slot used?

Thanks

This thing is one of the puzzles... I believe what it does is change how the tone capacitor is wired. we were looking at the schematic a while back and couldn't come up with any explanation for why it would make any difference. Maybe it doesn't.

If somebody else can shed more light, I'd like to hear about it.

I purchased and installed an MPC Supercharger kit back when it was available - '78 or '79 or so - don't remember the actual year;

All I remember that was included was 1 new volume and 1 tone pot, with associated capacitor / resistor(s)? and installation instructions - and the Electra stickers for the control knobs.
