Anyone out here in Rig Talk land ever hear his mod III? The clips on his web page sound really nice.
your right, Mine is a mod II, but I'm sure his panther mod has to rockcrwnedblasphemy":15wfaruq said:He still owns one....but he has either a mod 1 or 2.
memberzonly":2q3o5t4s said:I had the Mod I on a 1987 head at one point. I thought it sounded good but was a little 'honky'. It cleaned up well. It also does go into controllable feedback easily but never understood why that would be a selling point.
Shortly thereafter, I tried a Splawn modded 1959 (not voiced to my tastes). Not my cup of tea. Then a Cameron modded 1959 with he Ocean mod (again, did not care for the voicing). Then an Egnater Seminar head (too throaty).
I currently have a Friedman modded 1959 with the Brown Eye mod. It has about the same gain as the Mod 1 by Bray but is much more organic and clearer. It can be bright without being harsh and sits VERY well in a two guitar band.
I have not tried a Fortin but for my money, Friedman is where it's at if you want to have a modded Marshall that still retains the Marshall character. I would have enjoyed having the HBE mod as well but at this point, do not think that I need it. I play in a covers band that does 60's - today. The Brown Eye does everything except Nu-Metal on it's own. It won't give you a sparkly clean on the BE input but I can get a passable grit clean with single coils or low output buckers and volume rolled down.
I'd like to say that I am done chasing the tone in my head.
