this one doesn't seem to have that crisp raunchy tightness and punch that all your others have had. sounds good, but I like all the others better. maybe its the amp itself as I don't know about the inner workings of amps really.

Amazing tone and playing as always.
Real nice man!
But why do all of your amp projects get the Rig-Talk mod?
just kidding. I remember you explaining it one time. Wouldn't hurt to do that again or may put a little disclaimer at the bottom of all your New R/T Mod Day threads to remind us of what is going on there. Can we assume you are getting some business by posting here?

Sounds awesome, as always! I have a Ceriatone 2203 copy that is of course a 2203 style amp, but with a turret/PTP board instead of PCB and also has a full/half power (pentode/triode) switch. I am considering putting a Lar Mar PPIMV in just to drive the PI tube harder at lower overall volume because it is so insanely loud to try to drive the PI tube harder with the regular 2203 master volume. Once I install the PPIMV I will check out how it sounds using the stock master and PPIMV together at different settings, but then figure I may go farther with some other changes similar to yours around V1A and V1B depending on what I find with just the PPIMV added.
Do these mods translate well to the cascade that is already in the 2203 with just a few cap and resistor value changes instead of the one wire mod style of cascade that is required to cascade the V1A and V1B in 1959 or 1987 Super Lead type of head? In other words, do the various cap and resistor combos (820 Ohm/.68 uF on V1B and .68 or 1 or 25uF over V2A's 820 Ohm and lower the 10K cold clipper on V1B or add a cap, etc.) work well on a 2203 with the stock master volume and the PPIMV installed and using them to together? Hope I'm making some type of sense with what I'm asking. It's too damn early for me to try to ask a clear question. LOL.

Excellent playing and love the LP tone with that modded SLP.

Yeah, I can understand where you're coming from on the various preamp circuit tweaks and component values. I'm wondering where I will get with leaving the original master volume in the circuit and leaving V1B cascading into V1A and the "cold clipper" 10K cathode in place, but maybe lower value. I know the original master has a sort of loading effect on the signal path. I'm wondering if it will work well with the PPIMV added and sort of blending the two together at different settings. No doubt every amp is different, you are right about that. I've found the same to be true.

Very cool of you to share that, thank you! Some of those changes I have already tried, others I haven't. I've already got the PPIMV ready to go in, just need to lift the board and remove the leads going from the 220K resistors to pin 5 on the tubes and remove the 220Ks themselves from the board. The pot is wired up and I've removed a speaker jack and have it ready to go in, so I'm too far in to not give it a try now. lol. If I don't dig it with the normal pre PI master installed I may go farther and wire it closer to the one wire mod, but without the 4 inputs. It seems like running the regular master higher (maybe even dimed?) and allowing the signal to hit the phase inverter harder before choking it down with the PPIMV should work if I can get the rest of the preamp gain stages voiced correctly, but we will see how it goes.

Thank you kindly sir!!
I own a Dodge Charger Hemi R/T so that's where the R/T comes from and it stands for "road & track" and not rigtalk.
Michael R/T is a nickname some friend have gave me years ago and a handle I've been using online for years.
How it ended up as the name for my mods is a long story, I'll share that story later when I have more time on my hands.

Wasn't trying to knock you or bring your thread down bro
All your modded amps so far sound really killer. If anything I'm trying to help. I hope you see it that way too. 'Get's the R/T mod' could be tweaked a bit I guess. Maybe you are trying to 'brand' R/T and want to leave that along.

Sounds great to me
I really like the tone out of the Les Paul, but both are nice!
I'm guessing that the house was shaking and paint was pealing?
Thanks for sharing. You've got some nice chops too

I have been in the beginning stages of looking for a modded Marshall, and these blew me away. It's exactly what I'm after - has the brown sound, but a little more girth. I'd likely run an EQ in the loop for more low mids/beef.
Do you have a store, or do you just do mods? Do you build a 50w 1987 clone? This clip of yours nails it. I've been looking at Splawn, Bray, Ceriatone, Granger...

What do you think of the new be 50 deluxe? How would you compair your mods to a Friedman amp, the be/hbe channels? Just curious what someone who knows tone would think . Thanks!

I see, do they have a good feel like a plexi? I hear so much of the response of these amps but I never really got to play one for any amount of time. I'm thinking of getting one of the be 50s, I've been playing a 205h for the past 4 years and really like the sound and feel, though it did take some time and some minor mods to get the sound. I would just like to have something different/backup amp but still get close to the sound/feel response , I know that vague but the only words that I can think of to describe it. Thanks
