Peavey 5150/6505 mods?

[Nitrobattery]

More and more I'm regretting selling my 6505. My main complaint with the amp though was that the louder I turned it up, the more compressed and muddy/sloppy it got. It also had WAY more gain on the lead channel than I'd ever need and I had trouble dialing it out. I've been looking at the FJA and Voodoo mods and it looks like another Peavey is in my near future. Can some of you guys/gals that have had yours modded throw in your 2 cents? I don't want to mod it to the point of sounding like a completely different amp, but tightening it up and getting the gain a little more usable would be awesome. It looks like I can spend anywhere from $100-$1,000+ on the mods...so some insight from some of you modded Peavey owners would be awesome.
