1.) Having all the power tubes have individual bias trims
2.) Have a Half power switch to turn off 2 power tubes
3.) Plexi mode switch to a JMP mode switch
4.) Randy Rhodes cascading preamp
5.) Power supply MODs
a.) Low capacitance- more looser sound
b.) High capacitance- more tighter sound
c.) Less filtering "classic" - more ripple

6.) get rid of that "ticking" sound in your vintage Fender vibrato circuit
7.) Triode/Pentode Switch
8.) bias monitor.
9.) The Normal channel becomes the master volume
10.) REVERB ON BOTH CHANNELS - How to get the reverb and vibrato to work on both channels of your old two channel Fender
11.) Series/Parallel effects loop kit
12.) 50-100 Watt switch
13.) jumpered inputs

What other ones can u add to the list?

Takeing the right front *plastic* corner off the amp.

"True valve rectification" using 1S2's or an array of 6X4's
replacing fuses with circuits breakers
Using direct drivers screwed to the speaker cabinet baffles and back panel
and eliminating speakers all together.
Installing a Vibrator so it can be run on 12 volts
Using high voltage "polarised caps" instead of electrolytics
"Quad output mode switch" that makes use of each output valve as an individual output.[requires modified switch mode power units that operate as outputs,bypassing the output transformer.]
:wave::wave::wave::wave::wave::wave:


How are the kids at "dare care center"?

That is genious man... love it! ^^
 
Re: 100 different MODS to a plexi

You could change the rectifier to a GZ34, change the output tubes to 5881s and stick a 12ay7 into the first preamp tube slot. Other mods to consider are making a finger jointed pine box with a 4 10" speaker configuration, possibly tweed and changing the capacitors to NOS astrons.

I think you dont realise that Walters doesnt really want an answer, only something he can question.

What do you mean?:wave:

Do you know what a vibrator is?And i don't mean "a sex toy"!

Do you know what sex is ?

why aren't these answers acceptable ?

What is the time?

GO buy an amp that has the features you want and quit trashing vintage amps by trying to turn them into something else.

And the "page" one;"Foil from a cigarette packet wrapped around a burnt out fuse" Gives it that "Aluminum Tone" that he used on "Houses of the Holy"
If you want even more "Aluminum Tone" you wrap more foil from a packet round the output valves.IT's Hot ,like melting Metal!!!:wave:
 
Re: 100 different MODS to a plexi

SEX is when you get the guitar cord plug [the long thing with a knob thing on the end] and put it in the input socket[the hole on the front of the amp.]
make shure you have at least "fast blow" fuses in though, or you might "make babies" and that causes one god awfull feedback tone!
A power board with quick cutout helps against "babies" too! in short"you need protection".
