OK, Another "What module will..." question

[Flux Johnson]

I was practicing using my RG75 1x12 combo this morning, and I really like the overdrive sounds (hence, why I bought the amp in the first place). What module helps get that Randall, smooth but heavy distortion sound.
I hope someone says the SL+ because I want to get the JCM 800 mod from Pete :twisted:

you should check out the ultra xl has lots of gain and is pretty smooth stock

I don't know what the RG sounds like but people seem to like the Ultra (different from the Ultra XL). The 1086 and Rectifier/Recto/Treadplate probably aren't what you want. Also the Mr. Scary or KH2/3 series are worth thinking about for a more Soldano/Marshall sound.

I haven't played the ultra but I have an ultra lead and an ultra xl; the ultra lead is more smooth, rounded and mid-focused; like santana whereas the xl has more sizzle in the top end like a 5150.

the posts i've read say the ultra lead was modeled after Randall high gain, so this may be closer to your RG. the SL+ will sound more like a marshall (at least from the clips i've heard).

if you want to try the ultra lead, i've got mine posted in classifieds.

How much are the mods done professionally or just the parts? Did any mess any of the modules up?

That's my page, there are others who mod modules. I don't sell instructions, I don't need the liability of someone doing one badly or screwing up their module and blaming it on me. I have included some LEDs here and there though - that's pretty hard to mess up if you're careful.

I don't think I've ever 'messed up' any modules, never had one sent back to be 'de-modded'. The only permanent changes I make are holes drilled in the front metal carrier to enable mounting toggle switches - but if you put a stock faceplate back on one and removed the switches, you'd never know the holes existed.

Here are some of the amps I use to test modules...

Sorry, not for sale. EVH's attorneys would kill me! He actually has that type of paint scheme registered as a trademark!
