i sent a quad preamp to them for service as i bought it used on ebay.
they looked over the entire unit and replaced all 12 preamp tubes and it was under 150 dollars with shipping. i was shocked at the price, turn around time and overall customer service they provided.
this was back in the early...
I have the opposite experience. I been diming my 100 watt superlead for decades with a Marshall Powerbreak attenuator and all i ever have to do is replace power tubes every 6 months and general maintenance.
I have a bright 1974 MKII Superlead. If it sounds to bright, I adjust the tone control on the guitar until it sounds good. Done.
I wish I would have done that years ago instead of trying to mod the amp / change values to get rid of the brightness.

That's an awesome video! Just thinking though...just because it was Jimi's doesn't mean it's automatically a great sounding / playing guitar. He could have bought a POS sounding one not realizing or knowing any better. Would people still think it sounded great when in fact, it didn't?

My band is learning Dance...
I had a super D in my Les Paul (bridge) and it sounded really good- nice and fat. My LP also is on the brighter side. I have a Dimarzio 36th Ann. in it now and that's Ok but I might put the super D back in.
Here's mine. It's a 1984 Artist Series. Paid 400 bucks for it back around 94 or 95. It was originally an ugly purple sunburst. I painted it with about 10 small cans of Testors metallic red model paint. lol Oh and I made the pickguard. It originally was the model that didn't have one. The toggle...
Awesome guitar & congrats! I have a Norlin 1980 LP standard and I love it. It has three piece plain maple top. It does NOT have a pancake body, its a solid 10.2 lbs piece of wood.
I hardly ever see any with a pancake body....
Mine has "SECOND" stampled on the back, under the serial # but...
