Haha, the urinal cake is an epoxy filled dixie cup with the noise gate and bass boost circuit in it. It's where the mojo lives

Don't forget that since tone is in the fingers, that fatass Dino had some massive sausages as digits

He reminds me of chumlee from pawn stars. I also have preety big fingers.

I will try to get a clip Recorded tonight once I get it how I like it.
I will be using a framus dragon, recto, and a peavey ultra.

Ok, update on Dino's #1 amp that he used on Demanufacture and the one that got stolen back in 1998. This is straight from Dino himself, it was a Metalhead Modded JCM800 2203 Marshall. He knows Elan Memran and had him mod a bunch of Marshalls for him. His #1 just had that something special the other did not have.

Cheers,
Mike

After getting more info from Dino, I've been experimenting more with the controls on that amp. I was able to get it close to the above posted youtube tone.

It's got EL34s is it right now, I'm going to plop some GE 6550s into is and borrow a guitar from work that is loaded with EMGs....give it another go. If I have the time, I'll do a clip.

Cheers,

The key to the mod is a self bias resistor.

Have you confirmed yours is not the stolen one? The reason I ask is the mexican flag sticker dino had on it was where yours is missiing the jcm 800 screen print.
edit/ I guess not. Looks like yours is a 50 watter.

HAHA!!! I guess I had that one coming to me, but Ill take it only if it wasn't used to shed the blood of the innocent.

I gotta admit guys, I have issues... I sold my spot in line for the 4th NATAS I think it was due to my stronger ties to my belief in God and traveling that road. I couldn't justify having an amp named SATAN backwards, so I sold it... but man, I regret not having that awesome amp in my possession when I get back home now!!! I asked Mike if he could make a chassis without NATAS on it, but I think that might be pushing it... go ahead and flame away, its not gonna hurt my feelings. I really do want to give you my business Mike, I know you busy and cant always do mods, but if you can let me know.

When I emailed him the pics of my Metalhead mod, he actually thought it was his I guess at first he missed the pic of the back of the amp. His was a 100watter, mine is a 50.

Yeah but he thinks it was a jose too. Then he mentions that is had a built in noise gate. He's all over the place on facts.

Dino had many Metalhead modded Marshalls but his #1 was a 100 watter.

I got the above info directly from Dino yesterday so I think that is more accurate than the other guy who posted in that link;-)
Cheers

I know, I know... I kick myself daily for this... and I should just reorder another one, but Im getting more and more into a modded marshall. I do believe I might give into the temptation when tax time rolls around though.

It doesn't have to be SATAN backwards. It might stand for Nice Amp That's Always Sweet. It could be called My Mother is a cheap dirty whore as long as it sounded as killer as the clips I've heard.
