looking at getting these 3 modules from someone...grail,ultraxl,and mr scary....does anybody have any of these that have been modded?.....and what to expect after modding compared to standard tone...
Dave Friedman modded Mr Scary adds a little gain and smooths/compresses the high end a little...very nice.
Grail - increased the bass cap (c3) to 0.001 (from 0.0005)...bit chunkier, I prefer it.
I think there's a difference on type/construction of cap used too...little disc (ceramics?) vs silver mica(seem to be 'dipped' and brown or red) vs orange drop etc.
I have always used Orange Drops for my c3 mods...but never really done a back to back comparison...it might have more effect in other tone stack components.
Slighty more gain on the Stock Recto (due to lower R values of 150Ohm vs either 220/470Ohm in R1,R2 and R3?) but the Grail sounds clearer/better for it......
