Another SL-X gets Hermanssonized

[Hermansson Amplification]

I've modded another Marshall JCM 900 SL-X.

Here it is before the mod.

You can see some electrolytic caps were swollen, these are now replaced with new caps with higher voltage and temperature rating.

And here it is after the mod. The whole preamp circuit is revoiced and changed to get a tight and focused distortion with a lot of sustain. The power amp is also revoiced and got a punch control.
The customer who ordered this mod plays in a Iron Maiden tribute band and wanted the amp to handle classic Iron Maiden sounds.

Here’s a sound clip of it:

Guitar straight into the amp.
TC G-major in the loop for some delays.
Cab: Malmberg 4×12 with old Greenbacks.
Mics: Golden Age R1 mkIII and Tascam DR-40

How much for a mod? I'm thinking about a Marshall 1987x of which I'd like to have the Friedman Smallbox Plexi channel charateristics but the ability to get as much gain as the Eternal Classic mod by Folkesson. I want the amp to be as unforgiving as possible with beyond amazing string separation and dynamics.

Something like this?
