THE MODDED WINDSOR IS HERE! (Clips+Pix)

[lolzgreg]

All of you guys who have been curious about my Friedman Modded Peavey Windsor:

Here's that song Ola posted and backing tracks that Ermz mixed. NO processing aside from a highpass and lowpass on the mixer:

It is EVERYTHING I love about a Marshall and NOTHING I hate about them.

 

[BrettT]

Listening on crappy work PC speakers, but I'm really really liking what I'm hearing.

 

[SocialNumb]

Oh screw you!

What does this mod cost?

Congrats dude.

 

[lolzgreg]

Overall:
Windsor: $250
Upgraded Mercury Magnetics Transformers+Choke= $700
New Platinum Matched Tubes: $150
One-Off Friedman Windsor Mod: $500
New Headshell: $360
(shipping is included in all of this, by the way).

$1960 dollars overall.

And before you go out and ask me "why didn't you just buy a Marshall and call it a day?"

a. This sounds better than any Marshall I've played.
b. I am the only owner of this amp in the entire world, and it will bring me reamping business.
c. I don't always follow the crowd, as you've noticed by now.

Sounds great dude! I'm gassing for Dave's Marsha amp bad! Is this mod based off the brown eye?

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

Dang, that's one classy headshell! Digging the tone, too!

This is actually a custom one-off mod. I have no idea what Dave did to this, but it doesn't sound much like a Windsor. This thing is super tight. The gain is by no means over the top, but if you run a hot boost in front of it (which I did for this clip), you're in fire-breathing territory.

Thanks man. I think this is an instant winner. I plugged it in and nearly shat myself. It's THAT awesome. I have so many great amps now, my G.A.S. is nearly cured.

 

[slashvanyoung]

Sounds good Greg! Would love to hear it in a full mix.

And btw. have you ever thought about adding a Krank to your arsenal? Like a Rev+ ?

 

[lolzgreg]

It doesn't do a flavor for me that would make it worth owning ATM.

 

[::XeS::]

Sounds good!
You should try it with a fear factory riff from Demanufacture, with very scooped mids...I'm very curious about how it can sound

 

[lolzgreg]

provide DIs and I'll reamp =)

 

[AllanD]

I like it a lot, very raw sounding!

 

[Gnash]

What is that DI on top of your Windzor? Nice tone, by the way. I'm finally getting around to working on my $199 Windzor. I'm just re-tubing, though.

[Gnash]

I'm buying another reamp setup. I am looking at a Countryman DI and a Radial Xamp, but now I have to check this out. Thanks

 

[P-E]

Sounds like a Marshall head should sound like, and then some.

Awesome tone and also great playing! Cool riffs on your original composition.

 

[lolzgreg]

Thanks. I'll hopefully make it a song one day.

 

[drew_drummer]

Can I haz clip without low-pass and hi-pass please; I'm missing some lower freqs for my taste

It looks the shizzle though; fucking awesome.

 

[16S]

really nice on the lower notes but also sounds a bit fizzy? Guess a bit of eq would sort that though...

 

[joeymusicguy]

this amp actually sounds like one of the pod farm presets.
