Amp mods

[Mr. Brokenamp]

I'm thinking of starting an amp mod / repair business. I know IN HIGH GAIN AMPS I personally I like taking the fizzy top end out of amps and tightening up the low end.
What do you all like mod-wise?

What you just described

I just cloned the Soldano HotMod and it's great!!

for highgain-amps all I do sometimes is changing the centerfreqs of the eq-pots to finetune it more to my liking

I also like having less compression in rhythm sounds and more in lead sounds - that usually involves having fewer tubes working harder (filtered, of course, to reduce unnecessary fizz) in the rhythm section and more tubes getting driven less in the lead channel, but since I don't use tubes I've never had to worry about reworking preamp sections in those things.

Another big seller is transformer replacement - especially in cheaper tube amps. Again, not something I can say much about from my own experience, but I see sales tickets and that seems to be a popular one.

Maybe a built-in tubescreamer? with on off switch?

Seriously - I've been dying to have this in an amp ever since I got into having a TS in there.


Or shit, just a TS applicable to the drive channels, but is bypassed for the cleans.

holy christ thats a good idea

 

[JBroll]

Not a bad idea, call it the 'Gain Shaper' and you've just revolutionized tube amps.

I'd still like a solid state amp that doesn't try to be tube-ish, but that's because I fucking hate tubes.

I like/ find very cool:

Putting noise supressor mods in high gain heads.
Taking out as much hum/hiss as you can.
Usefull mods such as bias mods.
Tone and gain mods.
Retolex mods (cool shit).
New Transformers.
