[QUOTE="nym1985, post: 131608, member: 3339"] Yeah that was one of the big selling points for me aside from interchangeable preamp modules was just the ease of retubing (and ability to take so many different tubes) One thing I have been wondering (and this will probably come with more in depth time with the amp) is how beneficial it could be to upgrade the Choke, Output Transformer, and possibly Power Transformer to the Mercury Magnetics on smaller tube amps I've found that the MM upgrades really made a difference in a very good way. I also am curious to see how the foglifter improves the amp. I will likely shoot Rob at JF an email about that stuff. I feel like if I retube, respeaker (most likely pair of Celestion Creambacks), recover (green brit tolex, black/tan grill cloth, brown leather handle, and cream piping), install Jaded Faith modules (instead of stock), do the foglifter mod, and upgrade the choke/transformers I could see having only invested the original street price of the amp and having essentially a customized boutique grade amp. I know that whatever I decide to put into this amp at this point probably won't fetch resale value but I really do intend to hang onto this amp (lol just don't make those my dying words) and would like to make it my own and considering I only invested $400 to get the amp with three modules it's tough to not just wanna mod/upgrade everything.
