:welcome:


1) Welcome to the best guitar/amp/effect forum on the web! :thu: :hi5:

2) What kind of builds/mods do you do? Is it a hobby for you? A side business? Your main line of work?

3) Presumably you play as well. What kind of gear do you use? What kind(s) of music do you like to play?

LMAO!!!! I do it on the side... Extra $$... I play through a Bugera 333so that I missed for more gain and installed a variable resonance on it as well... Sounds like a cross between an Engl and a Mesa... Seriously... FOOKIN HEAVY! Lol! I've built a couple 6V6 high gainers (in a gain whore) and I've modded a buuuunch of Boss pedals... Particularly SD-1 and DS-1.. The SD-1 has a touch more gain and I lowered the corner freq. To like, 320 Hz... It passes soooo much more bass when you are boosting... Tone no longer sounds anemic.... But, I must say... Since I modded my Bugera, I no longer need a boost... At all... Well, unless I'm boosting the crunch channel... It has slightly less gain than a Peavey Triple XXX but waaaaaay more than a JSX... (333so = JSX... 333 = Triple XXX)

And I've probably repaired or modded at least 70 amps if not more... Rough conservative estimate...

Welcome to the fold brother - this is the best guitar/amp forum on the interwebznet!!! :rawk:

I started learning amp repair and have been building up a head of steam to buy an o-scope. They make o-scope software and interfaces for cell phones now! Amazing!
Looking for recommendations so, if you got any, I'm collecting opinions.

We've also been known to service droopy danglin' gassed out flap jack titties, so if you got any of those you've come to the right place.

I see that you have a lot of projects in mind right now but how to achieve them if you are alone to work on it.

Sounds like you need to build a handmade reactive load box to go with it.
