Not really the design that you would use for modding. It is tube rectified so you would most likely want to change that do diode rectification. You could modify it but it isn't the best platform IMO. Especially in the combo form.

Check out David Bray's website. He's got some samples up of a Bluesbreaker that he modified. Sounds awesome.

Crank it up and hit it with a pedal for more aggression. It has that classic Marshall tone with a bit of Fender quality to it. Great for mid gain type rock stuff up to say an old Van Halen type of gain. The tube rectifier makes it really respond and feel great.
Not the right amp for metal or a really tight kind of gain sound...it oozes.
