HNAD To me. Got this guy last week and Modded it while I watched Wrestlemania on sunday. It's a Jose Arredondo / friedman / Camerron / alderch / everyone type amp. Other than the standard depth / Choke mod I;
Added a second gain pot
Reworked the entire preamp
Added a Structure switch ala bogner on stage 2
added a fat switch
Jose Master volume
Character switch.
I'm like 90% positive I posted the schematic to this guy way back in the day sans the switches and Jose master.
Haven't had a ton of time to play with it, but it sounds similar to those other Jose amps, just a bit tighter a little more modern. Super touch responsive amp though, however it doesn't really do very pleasant cleans (atleast compared to some of the other marshall variants I have made that have one less stage) However this could be because I haven't been able to really crank it. I've found that cranking gain one and using gain two as the actual gain control and vice versa is very very different than doing a mix of both. The jose master I'm a bit on the fence about, I didn't feel like it added a lot of gain to the circuit (which I like).

Really cool seeing the schematics of the mods!
Wish I started learning amp repair/modding years ago.

Thanks man. This amp is closer to the BE100 deluxe than the older schematic I posted on here way back when.

Nice! Did you mod the PCB or gut and rebuild?
