Why I did the mod(s) LSC

[plan-x]

When I demo'ed the LSC at GC 4 years ago, I was so impressed with it, I bought it. Got it home and just had a ball. After the honeymoon, it was time to do some serious band settings, get the pedal board dialed in etc.
Thats when I began to noticed some difficulty in dialing in the 2 ch's OD sound that was not losing ch 1's character in EQ. It is not a clone! I'll be damned! I tried so many EQ adjustments over the next year to no avail. I really needed a clone because I play in a 3 piece. And needed a consistant tone when ch switching. It takes time to realize the short comings of ch 2's voicing and I would recommend to new LSC owners to get familiar with it first before doing the mods. I am sorry for being so pro-active on pushing the mods on new owners. As if the amp was sub-par with out it, and that's not the case. I bought the amp confident that it was the best I could find without spending twice as much.

So you're saying play the amp and get used to the EQ on Ch. 2 before modding it even though modding it makes the amp sound a lot better?

Yes I am saying that. There have been a few guys who preferred it un-modded anyway. I would not have appreciated the mod as much if I didn't have the base line of it stock sound. When Charles presented the mod, it was presented as " anyone not happy with there ch2 sound", well that captured my attention because I was in that boat for couple of years. So I realize, that LSC owners have to go through that honeymoon period first. Then, the option Charles puts forth in that infamous thread, can be understood better.
So don't sweat it, and enjoy your LSC head when it arrives. BTW the most famous LSC player Andy Timmons, didn't mod his as far as I know. Check out this link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrHy2o_Q-Fk&feature=related

He probably is using more than just ch2, but wow, that dude can play.

Cool. I'm sure I won't be modding it the day I get it :lol: . I'll play it for a while and assess the situation.

Same here. I haven't done the mods and I love ch 2
