Looks like they the original tube and also added there SS loop, odd. The bright cap might help a little but really needs to up the filtering cap in the PI to tighten up the SLO or any clone.

I wonder if there is something going on with the 50/50uf can cap, filter cap in that stage or if the 500pf mica has shorted...

Thats a nice build you got there, it's a perfect modding! I have some schematics of a lot of amps and modded ones I could post up for ya if wanted.

Exciting man! Cool find!

Nice! Glad it's coming along for you!

Yeah, I don't agree with that at all but that's cool.

How would you go farther with an SLO if the Mezz has more features?

I think a good amp to (copy) go with the ones you listed would be the Friedman BE - JJ or SS circuit, with variable depth and NFB

I measured both of my SSH+ was 16.36k and Aldrich was 16.78k. Pretty close to what you are getting. Could it be that maybe it was wired incorrectly to the guitar? In some guitars I found the JB sounds a little cocked wah sounding in the midrange.

https://www.daddario.com/products/guitar/electric-guitar/nyxl/nyxl1156-nickel-wound-medium-top-extra-heavy-bottom-11-56/ I really like these strings for that tuning on my 25.5" scale guitars.

Yes! Schematic wise basically just a decatone which is just a slo that has all the mods, that has better switching.

I have a SSH+ and Aldrich in 2 different strats and the Aldrich has more output and more upper mid and the SSH+ is more lower mid to my ear. Nether have the classic JB weird mid thing going on lol imo.

on an amp like this with a turret board and the chassis already has the same hole pattern the zero loss effects loop it would be a pretty easy install.

isn't the plate voltage really low on the 2203x amps now? Like 420 volts?

I know you are probably joking but these are very different circuits.

2.2nf is .0022uf. As some other guys have pointed out, that isn't going to sound very good at all. That will make the amp sound very small and thin. Also want to add that those TAD caps are deceiving because a .022uf looks similar to the .0022uf. Might want to measure them as well to make...

I think that when you have the knowledge and skills to build, and mod amps and to make them sound how you want them to sound it takes a lot of the lure out of wanting some of these other amps that are not obtainable. His good tone that he hears might not be your own and just because it looks...

I follow a lot of guys on FB to keep up dated on new amps and gear. Lately Scott has been posting some videos of him playing their new guitars and playing through a Quickrod. Some of the tones he's getting make me really want a Splawn amp! Check this one out! It's one amp I've never played...

Totally get it man, not for everyone at all. Your descriptions on what the amp was stock is right on as well. In my 50 watter I really like the .022uf/150k combo as I think it's a little tighter feeling and more mid focused and punch with awesome pick attack like a Marshall should be. The...

I really like the feel and depth of the .1uf/100-110k combo here with this amp (that is what fortin/growler use - you know this already) but then you have to cut the bass on the first and possibly the second stage and run the stock 47k slope, cuts a little low mids in the tone stack (I run 2...
