Hey guys, had a friend who is on the MTS board and other boards with me email and say apparently there is a storm of folks gathering around gigmods castle with torches regarding modules. Fair enough. Real quick - I am not doing modules right now, other than fulfilling old orders and clearing...

I'm still ok with my provider and I still own the domain, not sure. Probably won't be able to check into it until after Labor day, have commitments and will be out of town for a week or so. Hoping to get everything kicked back into high gear soon. I'm glad you guys are interested enough to look...

I'm still alive guys. Depending on what's wrong with the module, it can be an easy or a difficult fix - these modules can sometimes be tempermental as hell. Add to that I generally update stuff for free when it's in here if there was a tweak I learned since the module was in... and then I...

I'm still alive, just have a lot going on. Had someone email me today basically seeing if I was still around, because they heard I wasn't replying to emails and my website is down. No idea what's up with the website, will see what's going on. I still own the site, need to check with my provider...

This is where a multimeter comes in REAL handy... just look at where the trace is headed, and check continuity from origin to destination. If you don't get a beep, then you may need to use a piece of wire to repair it, or sometimes you can scratch the coating off and expose some copper to solder...

cap, not the resistor. As with anything else, don't go changing stuff randomly without knowing what it is. Pete

Not my work as far as I can tell. Faceplate is wrong - I never did a mark IV plate - and I can't see the board but since I never did a mark series without a faceplate change I'd say it was not my work. Somebody probably copied some of the parts I changed without realizing why I did it or...

NP. You can also do it with the other plate resistors on the module too if you want to pull a little hiss out or stabilize a module that is too gainy. Pete

That's not a coupling cap, it's in parallel with a plate resistor. Look at an old Mesa boogie amp, they put caps in parallel with plate resistors all the time to cut high frequencies because without them an old boogie would oscillate all over the place. Larger the cap, more high end attenuation...

Level knob is not a red/blue channel, never did a mod like that I can remember. it's a mid shift. If it has the faceplate that looks like a bogner xtc, then it's modded after my 2004 Bogner that I still have. Pete

I use what Ken Fischer (trainwreck amps) used - extension cords. :) Pete

Tungsol 12ax7s are overall good tubes for gainy modules IMHO. Pete

It should be a fairly bright module, at least compared to stock. Might want to check the preamp tubes, they may be tired. Pete

Very cool Jerome, nice playing. Glad you are digging the slodano! Recently did a Slodano for an LA studio guy who says it's going to be all over the new Dee Snider album... I love it when my modules get used for recording. I'm glad my module can hang with an SLO. My module is only modding the...

Talk to Egnater, I don't have any midi board mods and probably never will... I would wager the modifications to the RM100s for dual channel egnater orperation would at least include a new midi board. An RT 2/50 already has negative feedback as far as I know. That's how you have a presence and...

One of these days that would be a great idea. I'd like to, just not as many requests for mods on the dual channel gear and I'm busy enough with the single channel stuff right now. I'd like to get into the Egnater modules eventually though. Pete

I put a smaller bass cap there on my brown mods for two reasons: 1) less 'fart out' 2) Ever listen to Van Halen I or II? Not a lot of low end on those tones... Pete

Go to radio shack, get some deoxit electronic cleaner. Cost you around $12 I think. Take your module, look at the back of the pots. See where the three 'legs' are that go into the circuit board? There is a gap between those and the back of the pot. Spray some cleaner in that gap, then work the...

I'm going to do some clips, not sure about youtube as I keep getting grief about the quality and to sync up video and pro (or as pro as I get... I'm a hobby guy like most of us here) audio takes awhile. It's easier to just do audio, but I realize it's nice to see the switches change the sound...

Remember the 6 way mod on your mark module? This is kinda like that on the last two switches, but it's a *9* combination setup... plus gain and the tight switch. Pete
