I just got an used DLX module.
It was very clean and in good shape.
I found couple of orange drop caps in the PCB.
Did Randall put any Orange drop caps in the modules?

To my knowledge they did not...

How's it sound?

It sounds ok, but I never tried real Fender Deluxe amp, though.

One problem is the gain pot.
Volume is very low until I crank up the gain till 2 o'clock.
7 to noon, I can hardly hear the sound.

Gain pot value is 1M.
Shouldn't it be 500k according to module spreadsheet?
 
Maybe someone put a linear pot ('B' marking) instead of the typical log (audio or 'A' marking) pot.

No, it has 'A1M'.

Volume(level) pot is 'A500k'

I'll try A500k once I get it.

You will lose volume with a 500k pot. I would use a 1M pot for volume and make sure your gain is 1M also, if not already.
 
I tried A500k and A1M.

Still the same problem.
Volume(level knob) is very weak with the gain until noon.
