Looky! I modified it all by myself. I feel like such a big boy. No explosions or nuthin'.
I finally got around to modifying my Rectified module with the 'Grail mod'. Unfortunately I forgot to order one part, so it turned out to be a partial mod for now. Thanks tons to all the helpful advice and information on these boards, you know who you are.

This is a clip of the before and after sound of a Randall MTS amp using the Rectified module. The first part of the clip is the stock version, the second part is the same module with a partial Grail modification done to it.
I like how the bass response is much clearer with less mushy bass sound in the gain stages. The mid range still needs tweaking. Hopefully I can move the mid knob EQ to a higher frequency with the final C14 cap (if that's what it does).
Mod notes: The C3 capacitor was changed from .0022uF to .001uF and the R1-3 resistors changed from 470 ohm to 150 ohms. I still need to finish the modification with a C14 capacitor from 300pF to 470pF. I used Orange Drop caps and Carbon Composite resistors if anyone cares.
Recording notes: Randall MTS 50B combo amp with a 1x12" Celestion V30 speaker (not the standard T75). The mic was with a Sennheiser E609 at modest bedroom volume. A 'small room' reverb effect was applied post recording to make it sound more like the original tone. The guitar was a Washburn WI68 Idol USA with a Seymour Duncan Custom Custom in the bridge. The high E intonation was a little wonky, sorry. I need to change the strings.
Enjoy!
