Hear Ya bro, same with me about the feel of XTC. That is why I decided to mod it instead of selling it. And that is why some day I'll buy myself another stock XTC to have it at home and play for myself :) My modded "Setneck XTC" will always remain my main gigging amp :). I feel unarmed without...

No problem Mate, always glad to help Bogner brothers :). So anyone, always feel free to ask any questions :). Regards, Andy :)

Well, good question :). As I have said many times - I really like my amp in general. The problem was, that in my band mix stock XTC tone was hidden and blanketed. One may say - change the amp. I had a few Marshalls, still own one (6100), but I have always admired Bogner chewyness and liquidity...

"Stock" Cameron voicing indeed may sound a bit too loose in low-end. Lowering the cap makes it boosted more in upper frequencies, which helps tightening the bottom. I like post2004 voicing too, but it has more compression and gain boost that I need. You don't use boost, I use it, which itself...

Well, I wasn't too precise here :). I know that You made it dpdt, but what I meant was that You can't make it switchable between channels, that it would be present only in Red. If You engage a cap it affects both Red and Blue. It is not possible with R19 mod. If You want more bite from Blue You...

And that's the greatest thing in modding amps ;). You not only have to predict the impact the particular mod has on the tone but - while modding the amp in a few places - predict the correlation between all mods done. That is why I had to reverse some mods I've done. And that is why the modding...

Had an similar impression at first time after I did that mod. Found it interesting, played it for some time. Also my amp wasn't modded much then. AFAIR the mods of that time were Dagnall D2668 output transformer and 2k7//1uf 2nd gain stage (but not fixed as it is now). But the main reason I...

I tried that mod before the 20th Ann XTC was invented. There were roumors that it was present in early Classics. I didn't like this mod, difference was too subtle and the cap was compressing the sound too much, making it "distant". So I have returned to modified Marvel Mod (.68uF cap instead...

As a total clean boost in the loop I use CAE/MXR Boost/Line Driver (http://www.jimdunlop.com/product/mc401-boostline-driver). Not only it adds volume (without adding gain or colourizing the sound) but it also levels the effects signal sent to "Return. The loop in XTC can be tricky, especially...

Hear Ya... so those are not mods for me ;). Lowering gain in my amp it is opposite of what I am after. But glad You like Your amp better now. And yes, it was me who told You that Your bright caps values are the one that are present in 20th Ann XTC. Regards, Andy :)

How is the dirty sound after that change? I mean: more or less agressive, compressed, open... Any clips available? :) Regards, Andy :)

Thanks Scott, glad that there's anyone beside me who likes that "matter" :). Regards, Andy :)

So what mods have You done to Your amp? :) Regards, Andy :)

Lucky You Ventura :). I like stock XTC as is too, but it doesn't fit my band mix. My modded amp sits there perfectly :). Regards, Andy :)

Great! Go for it then and let us know about the results :). Regards, Andy :)

Schemes are here: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=116020#p1569564 By 470pf cap I am reffering to the Excursion cap in poweramp. I decided to remove it from pcb and put it on the dpdt switch, alongside with 4n7 cap. But I don't use neither of those now. In place of 1M L Excursion resistor I installed 1M...

Hear You Jamme, feel totally the same here :). Every piece of my gear is somewhat tweaked, the amps, the guitars. It is total addiction ;). Stock 101B clean, which is basically BlackFace copy wasn't good for me too. After lowering 1st bypass cap (it was one of the first mods I done to my XTC) I...

No offence at all Mate :). Well, lots of effort, but not so much money, my tech isn't to expensive :). And believe me, the tweaking process was fun itself. You see, I just love that amp, its feel and way it responds. It sounds great itself and I wouldn't mess with it if it was my bedroom amp...

Remove or lower 1nF cap in boost circuit. play with the value. Unfortunately I got only a schem of dirty channels of 20th Ann, don't know nothing about the clean. But a guy who has it says that the clean wasn't tweaked much compared to 101B. IMO the whole 20th Ann thing is Sozo and Mojo Dijon...

I didn't like the boominess of stock clean channel, so I modded mine replacing 1st cathode bypass cap from 22uF to 1uF. Thought about replacing 2nd cathode bypass from 22uF to 10uF like in Shiva, but after I changed PI output caps from 100nF to 22nF I like it as it is now. Why do You want to...
