Nope. Don't own it anymore. That picture is from '85 (I think)...

Did it sound similar to the ceriatone chupacabra or different.

Different in a good way or bad way.

I've already built it myself. Has the original Jose tone and more.

I have no doubt that Jerry or a number of others you mentioned could identically clone the schem that is floating around.

Go to the metro amp forum and check out the EVH section... there is a new post there on the common EVH mods. Rockstah's mod5 is there too. They all sound great and bottom line is they are a cascaded preamp alla 2204/JCM800 and the Jose master volume or one wire mod. The Jose is generally the Jose master + 2204 circuit plus a few value changes.. check it out!
 
is there a wire diagram (not a schematic) of the Jose Master in a 2204?
 
Yup.. go have a look good man! There are also explanations for what to do to the preamp section. Easy enough to figure out looking at the values and at the very least, you can take that info to a tech and they'll do it up no problem.
 
I guess i have hit the big leagues! weeeeeeeeeee! so cool i gotta say. well, since i'm now in there with Jose and the likes i have to say that it is sometimes not about what you can see looking at an amp that someone modified but what you cant see...... the hours that went into actually understanding the circuit enough to get that particualr amp to sound that particular way.

Kapo, why someone would go to a tech to have them put another techs mod in an amp is beyond me... but i guess you get what ya pay for.

have fun!

Because they can't do it themselves, and maybe they don't want to ship their amp and have a local do it maybe...
