Hey guys,
Have had a week with her now and this amp ROCKS. :rock:
It still has the Wizard character but with a load of push pulls,two gain controls and a depth control.
The stock rhythm channel are gone, it now has the Z- mod channel with two gain modes. Lower gain setting the Z- mod gain pot works in Flamethrower mode both gain controls works.
The low gain mode has a perfect AC/DC sound (think Live at Donington 1991) and this mode has the great Marshall mids thanks to the mid boost. The next mode has alot of gain much more than stock,lots of saturation, perfect for Maiden,Metallica etc....
The amp sounds great at low volume,it has a slow increment of volume all the way until 3o'clock where the volume jumps up to full volume.The amp is so easy to play at both modes and sounds big as hell, love it. Mike Fortin did a great job and understood my needs. :D
Will try to do some clips soon. Rock on guys. :rock: :rock: :rock:
 
holy !!! your one hell lucky bastard !! how much did it went on for the modifications to be done?

You should have just bought one of Fortin's amps if he understands your needs? I can't understand buying a $4,000.00 amplifier that needs to be modded :confused: As long as your happy though, that's all that counts.
I have the Fortin Bones. :thumbsup:
The amp don't need to be modded, I'm sick as hell. :lol: :LOL:
I love the Wizard Metal, just wanted to add some mids and more gain, maybe odd but what the hell :rock: Have a stock Metal too and now I can justify to have both. There are alot of crazy people in here when it comes to gear I'm just one of them. :D :lol: :LOL: :rock:

As long as you enjoy the amp more after the mod, that's all that matters IMO! :rock:

Nice! That amp is awesome! Just loud as fuck, did Mike do something to make the Master volume more usable?
 
I stuck my head out the door a few times, still haven' t heard anything yet. Turn it up some more! :D
