Sovtek MIG 50

9/20/1998 4:28 PM
cbs	Sovtek MIG 50 Has anyone been inside one of these. A friend of mine wants his modified for a "heavy sound" . He says he likes Slash's (of Guns&Roses) and KISS's sound. He also wants EL34's put in. I guess I'll put in some clipper diodes (like a 800 Marshall), series the input 12AX7, change the tone stack for a deeper mid cut, remove the bass resonance from the negitive feedback loop, and put in a filament transformer for the additional current draw of the ELl34's. Does anyone know if the filament winding of the MIG 50 can handle the extra current draw? Anyone got any other suggestions? Thnx,CBS
