Did you put the Solens in there? Those things are not cheap!

I installed the Solens before i sent to Mike. I find them to be quieter with less note "hash". Less smear on the initial attack. I like them in high gain applications. We will see how this turns out. I have some Sozo's, Vishay's, and Mallory's on standby if I don't like the Solens. I've used the Solens in SLO builds before and liked the extra clarity. I'm hoping this will end up being my one amp for my Thrash cover band H8TORADE

That sounds like they're a perfect fit for a five gain stage design in theory
 
I’ve now had my Langner mod 79 JMP back for two days and can confirm that this mod kills.
It’s more of everything that I loved about it when it was stock/boosted. It’s chewier, woodier, and much more aggressive, especially in the mids. There’s nothing modern or pretty about this mod, it’s raw and organic af and barks/snarls like a junkyard dog without sacrificing any of the core Marshall tone whatsoever. If anything it takes the Marshall tone even further into Marshall territory if that makes any sense. Lol
Also worth mentioning is the chewiness of the gain structure translates into an amazing feel of connectedness.
Of all the modded Marshalls I’ve had/played this is my favorite to date.
Mike was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process with a quick turnaround as well.
Highly recommended mod and modder!
 
Mine shipped today and is on its way so can't speak to the amp itself in detail yet obviously, but the experience with Mike was nothing short of excellent. I'm old school and have incredibly high expectations when it comes to customer service, and the communication, level of genuine desire to get me what I envision, mindfulness of keeping me within budget, and the professionalism was above and beyond.

It is beyond refreshing to have individuals like Mike and Jeremy (GZ ampworks) providing not only top tier amplifiers, but equally important...incredible customer service when its generally abysmal 95% of the time otherwise in my experience. Hats off to these guys and their incredible artistry, ethic, and ability to deliver the fucking goods.
