Hi Everyone!
I just wanted to share with everyone my great experience with Andy (aka Monsta-Tone) and the mods he did to my Heartbreaker head. Aside from some basic tune-up work (caps, troubleshooting etc), Andy did the JCM800 mod to the Lust channel and it just smokes with the classic Marshall sound (in a Boogie box). This mod also managed to take away the "dark, blanket over the amp tone" on the Lust channel , which was the main reason why I sold two previous HBs (a head and a combo). He also did his reverb mod, which now sounds like it's on steroids. The HB reverb can now hang with my Lonestar Classic (although the Lonestar still has a small edge b/c of warm/bright switch)! He stayed in touch with me via email and by phone throughout the process and was ever so patient with my 10,000 dumb questions. He work was top-shelf, with lots of attention to detail (according to my local amp guy, who also is a Boogie affectionado), and his charges were very reasonable for the work done. 8)
So, if anyone is considering getting a mod done to your Boogie, especially your Heartbreaker, I would recommend Andy without any hesitation. He's a good guy and an amp wizard. 8) 8)
