Anyone tried the bias mod from Mansfield Guitars?

[boogieman275]

Hello all. Just wondering if anyone has tried the Mansfield Guitars bias mod yet. I saw they are selling them on ebay for and introductory price of $19.95. It seems like a very good deal and they look to be of high quality. I have a Dual Rec that I would like to install it in. Any feedback would be appreciated. For $20.00 I'll probably just buy one. If I do, I'll post a review. I just like how neat everything is on a little ciruit board instead of just soldering the components in and looking sloppy. There is no exposed leads and no chance of anything shorting out.

I recently had John from Mansfield Guitars install the bias mod on my Dual Rectifier and all I can say is WOW, what a huge difference in the tone it made.

He also did a great job revoicing my Rivera Fandango amp and setting up my Les Paul.

I know this is an older post but I wanted to ask how adding the bias mod changed the Dual Rec, as I'm interested in doing this upgrade.

What I'm wanting to change, if this mod can do it:

I find that at band volume, with the gain and after the amp has been on for 30mins or so, everything smooths out with the tone but it is not the best amp for mid gain tones. I own 2 Mark series amps and they just work better for backing off the guitar volume to give you 'clean to mean' from the guitar without changing channels. I'd like to get my Dual Rec to do this too. That and for me the Raw modes are useless as they sound sterile and lifeless. It appears that the bias on the Recs is really cold, to give you that chainsaw type grind, but I don't use that sound much and would like a little more versatility.

Does that make sense? Will adding this bias mod get me there?

thanks,
Steve
