Mike Burgundy	Re: This is really a very cool amp, anyone? c´Mon, yáll can do better than that! On the other hand, who am I to say that... I´ve been pondering mods to this thing for ages, but haven´t done any yet. For one thing, the gain ch. eq could be modded to a Fender type thing, or whatever, to taste. I personally thought (never tried it, once again) about slightly decreasing bass before clipping, and heavily increasing it after, and reducing clipping a bit in the first stage by mucking with resistors. Actually, replacing V1 with a 12Au7 did quite a bit of good. Easiest mod by far I´ve ever done. Well, except for that time some guy bought a second-hand pedal and wasn´t pleased with it´s sound. Changed the battery. Done. Heh.
