What does everyone look for in an amp mod?

All of those sound good. ;D It just depends on what amp you've got. I kinda like to think of some mods giving new designer a palet to install his own circuit with less expense than a production or custom amp. Jerry, I think you be asking people what amps they would like you to develop a "standard mod" for like what you have done with the 5150. Chances are that people are just gonna ask for a Recto mod, but it'll be fun anyways.  |

Thanks Chris. I do have some "standard" type mods I do for several amps. It's hard to have just one type of mod. There's so many options for some amps.

i have listen to abunch of your clips.i really dont like the heavy sound 5150 mods.i do love the motley crue clip modded jcm800..i guess my pefect amp would be a cross between a sweet sounding plexi and an slo.something comparable to a splawn,but it would have to have a clean channel.i like big raw sounding,yet defined with sustain sounding amps.probably on the tight side!i like your board,you did a nice job!

Better cleans is what I am all about, but mean high gain distortion would be my second pick.
I'll list the features of my ideal amp in order of importance
-tube
-warm, airy, beautiful, sparkling clean tone
-able to achieve very low gain distortion all the way up to the highest gain and sound good at both
-3 channels
-boost for every channel
-footswitchable effects loop
-footswitchable reverb
hmmmm why did I even type that

For boost and reverb you can add an EQ and reverb pedal to the loop. I think the XXX has one of the best cleans I've heard in a high gain amp. It can be made cleaner if that's what you wanted. I've done a few XXX mods and I really like the amp better after the mods. I add warmth, dynamics, and get rid of the thin buzzy tone. I hope to have some XXX clips soon. I have a few on my site but the quality isn't the greatest. I'm not much of a player or very good at recording. I can make the a 3 channel amp and clean up the cleans but it isn't as good as the XXX clean. Jerry |

alright cool, I am basically throwing around ideas right now...you're XXX clips are beautiful, when the money comes I will certainly get that amp (used of course) and having it modded would certainly be an option for me.

I just added some new modded XXX clips tonight. These were done with 6L6 power tubes. My playing leave ALOT to be desired but you can get an idea.

Id like a more focused mid pot on my 5150II. When you turn up the mids, it just sounds flabby and mushy.

On the lead channel.
Id like a narrower band, so you get a slightly more q'd sound. (not too much so it sounds like a wah pedal though), just enough to give more definition than the mid pot is now.

My mod to lower the preamp gain really helps with the clarity and definition. It gets rid of the heavy saturation you get when you turn the pre gain up. Jerry |

the 5150IIs gain sounds really bad at low gain settings, really unresponsive. Does the lower gain mods make lower gain settings responsive?
