I'm looking to mod another amp. I've done Voodoo Mods before and it was good. Sold that amp.
I have a BFG modded Eggie Seminar Head, which is still my number one. I would work with Brian again, but I can't get a hold of him, so I'm looking at Kruse and FJA. Waiting for Brian to reply, but wondering if he's not in the game anymore.
I'm looking to unload my Splawn Pro Stock. Love the amp, it's just too powerful for my needs at this juncture in my cover band and stages we're playing. Phenomenal amp!
I would look at Gower, but he's pretty far and with my budget not sure I wanna do the shipping thing. But his mods are awesome. Fortin doesn't do mods anymore.
I'm looking to grab a Jet City or Ceriatone or another Eggie Seminar head if I can find it cheap. Mods I want done:
-50 watt head
-Marshall based that cleans up well with volume (single or dual channel)
-Sweet to Angry Tones: SRV, Zep, GNR, AIC, Tool, some modern metal from the early 2000's
--I have an AFD switch on my BFG which cops great Slash tones.
--Variable gain via at least 4 gain stages
-Articulate, not overly compressed like the 5153 (awesome amp, tho!)
-Onboard Solo Boost
-mid shift or some time of variable mid frequency shift to work for different sounds and eras of tones
--is this the Kruse Kontrol/V5?
-Presence and Density/Resonance
-Low floor noise/very quite
-MUST HAVE: PPIMV or some time of way to play a loud 50w amp and get the goods on smaller stages
--this has me interested in the Kruse Variac, but I'm not sure it actually makes the amp quieter.
-smaller headshell/close to mini head
-External bias reading and configuring (if possible)
I like switches for more tonal options ala bright, mid shift/cut, saturation, tight, etc.
I play in a cover band doing hard rock covers of female pop songs, so I don't need a super metal amp, but one that can cover all the best pissed off Marshall tones with the option to do some potental Mesa (not exact, but close) tones.
Any recent experiences with Kruse and FJA along the criteria above? I'm seeing some decent platform amps on Ebay and Reverb I could pick up.
Thanks!

I’ve had a few amps Brian modded for me. He does great work and he won’t stop until it’s exactly what you’re looking for. Unfortunately I haven’t seen him around for a while. I hope all it’s well.
