May be too late to assist here, but I'm in Ajax. 30 min away depending on where you live. I haven't been on here in ages, as I barely play any more, but still have my RM100 and 4-5 modules, some with my own Frankenstein optimizations. Mostly all stuff found on here somewhere.

I replaced mine with a variable blue LED PC fan with ball bearings as the original just died. Its still quite loud, but at the volume I play if someone can tell me they hear the fan, then I'll turn the speed down. Until then, I have it full blast! Tube overheating = bad voodoo! Quick...

I used Orange drops for C3 and Silver Micas for C14. I've never tried the Mallory caps, but now you've got me curious. Any one else try this for the Marshall mods?

Its actually R31 that needs to be changed to 33K, but you can't fault, tehuk, I've got his old SL+. :twisted: I just completed a 3 way C3 mod and a 2 way "Modern" "JCM 800" mod to it. The 800 is definitely the way to go. I don't think I'll ever go off of "Tight(.001u-C3)" and "800" mode, so...

I'd verify what C3 you already have before thinking of the mod. I'm not sure if the really old one's had a big cap, but mine is a black stripe and has a .0015u which is already in the really tight category, you can go tighter, but if you are already running this value, this doesn't sound like...

That's Brutal! Good Brutal though :twisted: I see where lolThrash is getting the snare issue. I don't find it annoying and would have likely overlooked it, but since it was pointed out, I do think its a bit to prominent and reverby. This is just constructive criticism though, I couldn't...

This is an old thread, but I figured out the G-Major click issue so I thought I'd provide the solution. As many people, my unit is used. One of the previous owners may have been using the relays. It is the relays turning on/off that are making the clicking sound. If I change the relays to...

I wonder if a good UV rated urethane would work better as a top coat. I've put this over photos with no issues whatsoever, even after years. You just have to put on a few very thin coatings to seal it first, or it could make the colors run and/or make the paper curl. I even used the urethane...

Are the fingerprints of the murder, or the murdered :twisted: That's awesome!. Just got my Ultra XL today. I think I'll wait a few days before I mod it, but I already have the parts. How did you make the new faceplate? I know their are numerous methods people are using, but I'm trying to...

You're flippin my Ultra Lead already :shock: If it hasn't gone yet, I can vouch that it's in great condition and all stock. I'm still kickn' my butt for not sending it to Pete myself for the Mark mod. That thing sounds awesome! I think it hits the old Metallica sound way better then the...

This is why I love these forums! Having input directly from people like Bruce Egnater. You can't beat that. I'm new to MTS modding, but certainly not to electronics, what Bruce is saying is very important. Most of the mods I've seen on here should be within spec and as long as they are done...

Are these custom plates painted, or stickers placed over the original plate? Anyone doing full painted ones? I Like that true Diamond Plate option as well, but I've never seen it that thin and I think the standard stuff would be too thick.

Based on a recommendation from one of my other posts, is anyone interested in trading my Ultra Lead for their Ultra XL. Cheers!

Now that I've clued into the fact that I have a Ultra Lead, I've been doing some research on this one and its said to be very "rare". Now was it discontinued because it sucks, or are people still looking for this mod. I've seen a few mods that are only being done on the Ultra Lead. I still...
