Thanks Drew. That was exactly what I was looking for. It appears Wald has removed the specifics for the Garcia mods so that was very helpful. Had a very busy week so I was a little slow getting back to this. Haven't started tweaking the amp yet, but I did throw in a pair of JBL E-120s reconed with h...

Thanks everyone for all the replies. I'm still mulling over which direction to head on this. The Benson preamp sounds intriguing. As for the reverb issue- wow! I'm definitely getting an education on that one. I've done the mod several times, but it was pre-internet in the early 90s. Information was ...

Just wanted to give an update on this. Ordered the Mojo kit with the 715 ODs, got all my "stuff" out of the attic and was promptly derailed with some personal issues. Thankfully the person I was building this for is a friend and was patient and understanding. I finally sat down last weekend and put ...

Thank you all for the replies! I feel extremely fortunate to have such a knowledgable group to draw experience from. After reading all your replies, I think I will go ahead and use the 715s as supplied by Mojo. I too find them to be "sterile" sounding, but I think in this instance they may be the ri...
