Excuse me for being so hypothetical, but it's how I learn.
I love my Randall RM 100B2. It's the best sounding (most authentic & versatile) amp I've ever owned.
The quality... I would put in league with Mesa or Soldano. (sound wise)
However, these Gigmods and Voodoo amp mods are making me think the amp wasn't designed "balls to the wall" like most of us would probably do, given the chance.
But why not?
My guess is, safety limits?
Longevity of the product life? (AX7s burning out frequently)
Copyright infringement?
And lastly, designer' poor judgment/ear? :lol:
The Gigmodded (?) Deluxe module I just snagged off of Ebay sounds much fuller and deeper than the Blackface I just sent to Pete for modding.
Why would there be so much room for improvement?
How can Voodoo amps "hop up" your power section without going over certain tolerances in the amp's circuit design?
You can bore out any engine, use racing fuel, etc....
But the engine won't last as long as it was designed for.
So, how many hours are lost?
How far away from design specs are we taking it? Pushed to the limit?
Do these amps go to eleven?
Are these truly dumb questions?
