Jerry,
i am looking to for a mod that will make my XXX warmer and smoother sounding on the ultra channel with more definition and clarity. a nice thick modern tone with creamy leads is what i am going for on this channel .
also i would like to make the crunch channel more distinct from the ultra and give it a more "classic rock" sound.
is this possible or do u have a standard mod that will come close for me? about how much also?
i am in syracuse by the way.

Shane,
My standard XXX mod will do most of this. The only thing that can't be done is making the crunch and ultra channels sound farther apart from each other. Those channels share too much circuitry in common. I'll give you a call tomorrow afternoon.

If the "crunch" & "ultra" channel share much of the same circuitry, then can the "crunch" be made to sound just like the ultra? If this can be done then doing this plus reducing the gain of both would be an option for me. I could live with this on my Triple X 112.

By the way....any specific brand-o-tube recommended with your mods?

The crunch and ultra channels can be voiced to sound the same. I like JJ or SED power tubes best and JJ, EH, or Chinese preamp tubes.

Thanks for the reply! I was hoping this could be done. I prefer the sound of the "ultra" channel over the "crunch" channel but I do think it's way too hot, for my needs anyway. I know....you can't ever have too much gain, right? IMHO the stock "ultra" channel pre-gain set to 1/3 is as much as anyone would ever need. That is a scorching, sustaining sound with great pick attack.
After Christmas I think this is what I want to do with my Triple X 112.

I the gain can be lowered on both channels so that it's a useable range then the fact that they sound the same(or very similar) shouldn't be a problem. The active EQ allows you to dial in such wildly different tones that they wouldn't resemble each other at all if you EQ'd them different than changed the gain.
