Guys, thanks for all of the feedback, I was a Rhoads fan and for me this is the greatest. As for the mod, I have had many modded Marshalls through the basement as have my friends and we've taken a few notes on what others do. In many cases changes are in the same places, its just what values sound good to your ears. At the end of the day a mod is just a collection of parts that you change to suit your style and your playing. Guys like Fortin, Cameron, Friedman, etc. are the masters and we can only strive to get something that sounds half as good as what they do. Long answer for me saying that it is in the vein of a high gain Jose but I definately put my stamp on it and didn't copy as much as I did borrow the concepts of what areas of the amp to mod as any person that ever mods an amp does. Curious to hear opinions when I post some clips, I personally am so happy with it. I wanted an amp that could do heavy modern riffs and 80s metal. I think this does both, to my liking anyway.
