Pics of my Recto modded module (say that 3x fast)

It needs the black or chrome mesa knobs to finalize it, but I dig it!

As a prospective 1st customer of one of your mods...all I gotta say is:

Beautiful work Pete!

I haven't been this excited about the MTS in a looong time..man this thing kills

Red or orange, which is the stock setting?

Red. I looked up a schematic for the rectifiers, and the orange has a slightly different tone stack. Makes a huge difference though, now that I've tweaked it. It's fatter and warmer. I prefer orange for leads, red for rhythms.

Sorry JKD, I beat you to it. Sent in my SL+ on Tuesday.

I'll probably be sending my Recto as soon as the SL+ deal is wrapped up.

In theory my SL+ is already there waiting! :shock: :twisted: :lol:

Haven't seen either of your modules yet - but I do have something at the post office I need to sign for. Can't remember the name on it, I gave the paper to my wife, because she can leave her office easier than I can and will get it for me tomorrow. Barring any major parts issues, I should be able to get your modules sent back out within a week.

 

[axecellent]

Ah snap! :? That'd be his. I sent mine FedEx. I wanted to be #1

Man your modules look great. Fantastic job. What could we do with my XTC?

 

[NuSkoolTone]

That looks SERIOUSLY wicked man. Nice work.

I'd tread with caution with that rectifier logo though. It's great, but I bet it's trademarked and could get you in trouble. :shock:

I know. This one is 'personal use' LOL, not going to sell it... I need to figure out a way to change it slightly so someone couldn't be duped into thinking that this is a mesa product.

I'll probably go with something like this if anyone wants a faceplate or a recto mod...

you should put a second LED in it for each setting, orange & red....


would be awesome!


I want one with the Mesa style logo.....looks AWESOME!!!!

 

[EWSEthan]

Man that looks great! I always wondered why Egnater's E-Rect module wasnt either 1 channel Vintage and 1 channel Modern or had a switch like yours. Really strange.

Do you have any clips to compare the vintage and modern settings?

 

[gtr31]

Hey man your stuff looks VERY pro what are the chances of you doing like a custom Mod based on a Soldano with a purple or snakeskin plate graphic a purple or blue power Led ..

I actually did add the LED last night, just haven't had pictures yet. It's a bit of a pain in the *** though at this point. And I didn't have an orange LED, so I used a yellow one.

I'm going to try to do some this weekend. I found some old clips I recorded with my dual ractifier and that helped me dial in the module a bit.

What I'm doing right now are slight tone mods to existing modules. Plates are pretty much one color, unless I do some sort of sticker, which would work but wouldn't be as nice imho.

Closest to a soldano module I have in my hands right now is probably the SL+ with the JCM800 mod. Not quite gainy enough but it can be dialled in for that type of cutting tone, in my opinion.

Modded SL+ and a good quality boost

Yeah, the SL+ with the tone stack mod just moves it up into the higher soldano range freqency-wise. If I was going to try to mod one for Soldano tones, I'd probably start with an SL+ since a soldano is basically a hotrodded marshall to begin with.
