Ciao Mk2b…

[Less02]

When I bought this Mk2b, my intention was to transform it into a Mk2c+. After having built the headshell and the cabs, it is time for the main operation….

Glad you're making the leap and I appreciate the feedback on the board errors!

Jay, without your efforts and dedication to your project, I would never have been able to convert this amp, which has been sold to me under a 2C. Your board is perfectly built, typos on the silkscreen is not a big deal, knowing all the details you had to deal with and the obstacles you managed to overcome!

Thank you for the kind words! Can't wait to hear how it comes out

Frustrating to hear about this misrepresentation, it seems dishonest people aren't uncommon in the used gear market. I hope the C+ circuit is as good of a fit for you as it is for me!

Shame some people do that. So dishonest.

Actually, the guy who sell it to me was convinced it was a C, because of its serial number. He was playing bass with it, exclusively on the clean channel into a GK cab. I should have noticed the missing pull pot on the bass knob… When I came home and opened up the chassis, I realized the board was a RP-9C…. I communicated with the seller and he agreed to refund 300$. Bottom line, I got this 2B for 800$CAD, which is quite cheap IMO. So the guy was honnest, we were just both ignorants by relying on the s/n.

Here is the rest of conversion steps

The V1 mod brings this amp much more versatile. Proudly, I have added a + mark above the power cord.

How much does the PC board cost? It looks great!
