Gear Modifications

[Ouroboros]

Post any successful stories of performing modifications on preamps, microphones, consoles, etc.

I am wanting to crack open my Tubefire and replace the tubes with some Telefunkens, I also hear that Electro Harmonix manufactures affordable but good quality tubes.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

I replaced an LED on a mic preamp.

No but I did put a new tube in and it was a good idea.

revive thread!! anyone tried this??

 

[PhilTheBeard]

No i havent tried modding anything but just putting better tubes in my amps. but most tubes are made by the same manufactuer and just has other brands stamps on them.

 

[lolzgreg]

I've modded all my guitars.

People mod all of my amps, but not me. Thats work for someone who knows WTF they're doing!

 

[PhilTheBeard]

Iv seen guys who said they have build clones of really good amps. where do they get the stuff to be able to do that. cause id love to hand build a slo100

Somewhere on this forum there are mods for the SM57 to make it sound different/better... can't find it in a quick search though.

 

[PhilTheBeard]

i like the beta 57 and the regular 57

It's just removing the transformer, a quick search for "SM57 transformer" either on here or google should turn up results! But personally, I haven't seen the need to bother

all my guitars are customised and modded in someway, i also put in a green LED on the clean channel of my VS80 instead of the red one, lol, still need to try the 57 mod but it works fine as is, i also want to try the sd1 into the ts808 mod but havent gotten round to it

[Executioner213]

I put OG Floyds and EMG's in 2 of my gtrs...one I repainted so while I was at it, I routed (poorly) for a battery box.

Why on earth didn't I post all of the mods I have done when I first replied?

Anyhow here goes:

Modded a MT-2 pedal
Modded a DS-1 pedal
Modded a Vox wah
Modded a Valve JR
Modded my guitar (well... new pups )

Cosmetically modded my DR (see thread in off topic)

 

[StefTD]

Modded my Samick 5 string bass from fretted to fretless, that's the only "real" modification.

 

[slayercannibalsuffohead]

Turned my 5150 into a triple rec killer by plugging it in!



When cometh the Velvet Sledgehammer?

Modded my MXR Blue Box, Proco RAT, Boss MT-2, Behringer SF300 and Boss DS-1, all with excellent results. Also modded my Smokey Amp with a tone knob, a switchable boost and the ability to run on 18v
