"Cutting the bright cap" is something that is typically referred to relative to a JCM800. It "mellows" the tone. I've not heard of people doing this to a DSL15, but maybe they have. In general though, some have complained about the DSL15 being "fizzy" at high gain. It's a high gain amp though, and that sort of goes with the territory. My experience with it is that it likes the gain setting below 9'oclock and it likes being cranked.
