Hi !
A few years ago, I bought this amp, and since then I got increasingly disaponted with its tone (not much gain, not much bass and either no definition or ear-piercing treble). Yesterday, I decided to open it up to see if there was anything wrong. I found an interesting (read "poorly done" ) mod to the circuit.
Are there any Caliber wizards in here that can tell me what was the modder trying to do, and how could it have affected the tone. Could the removal of whatever sat in that spot cause the unplesant qualities to the tone or should I look elsewhere.
The amp runs on 4 Fender labeled Groove Tubes 12AX7, an unknown 12XA7 in the remaining spot, and 2 Mesa 6L6 in the power section.
Sorry for the huge pics !
