He hooked it up and said it didn't have enough gain wired like the instructions. He said it just was unusable and maybe there was an error in the instuctions. He said Dave Funk is a great amp tech and can't understand why it wouldn't work. Unfortunately, I still have to pay him for his work even though he put it back stock ($140). He did fix a few other things but basically this mod cost me $70 to not hear.

If you guys can do it yourself and figure out what is wrong it might be cool but I wouldn't rely on those instructions.
Maybe the reason is that the original mod is done in the vibrato channel, where there are an extra gain stage betwen the 3rd gain stage and the P.I.
In the Normal channel, the signal goes direct to the P.I. from the 3rd gain stage (the stealed half 12AT)
A good solution (as i said in my first post... :wink: ) could be send the signal throw the V3-B, sharing it with the vibrato channel.

just my 0.00000002 euro.

I wonder :?

I bet that is it. I did say vibrato channel but he may have thought I wanted to keep the vibrato stock.

I still want to try this or something similar .

Did Shane ever get this sorted? Are any of these drawings the correct/corrected version? Did Mark A ever try this?
Most people stall out when fixing a mistake that they've made. Why?
