Amp modders from back in the day

[Drew]

Anybody in L.A. remember Jerry Blaha and his Jabco mod? He was the first guy to ever mod a Marshall for me (1984). Jerry later had the store in Hollywood called "Amp Crazy". Jerry is still doing amp mods and repairs from his Hollywood apartment.

I wanted to mention him but forgot his name.. knew it was amp crazy though. was that store around back then I thought it was late 80's amp crazy....maybe he did mods prior ?? hard to remember stuff in that decade.

I've got 2 Metalhead modded Marshalls. They're awesome!

Awesome Dino from Fear Factory used his stuff back in the day

Oh - Tommy Folkesson as well

I WANT one of his Laney PA 4 channels very bad, that amp is the shit.

IMO if you want the best from that time you have to find one of Jose's good ones and bring some cash.

I believe it. Metalheads have a built in noise gate...which definitely works for that style.

I remember a modded Marshall Dino had on the first Fear Factory tour, that must be the mod, the noise gate was great and the gain was crunchy as hell. This was when he still played six string ESPs... I remember standing around that amp with the guys from Carcass and Napalm Death and we were all just blown away with it.
