Seriously, why get it hacked up to a 2203 until you hear and feel the raw power of the 12000. So Jerry does Rockstahs mods now? Rockstah yelled at Steve about copying his VH mod on the internet about this I do recall. I would feel a bit better sending it out to Jerry though, if he indeed does the same mod, Rockstah was recently pulling Cameronisms with men.
Yup and for the record, he was bummed at me me for saying I would tell people who were begging for their amps and money back when he was unresponsive how to do the mod. Which he really shouldn't care about since there still exists a thread on metro that spells it out EXACTLY. Someone also posted gut shots of one here when trying to sell it. I never saw a thread on metro with schems and layouts. Finally, I never copied that mod in an amp for myself or performed it for others. I have shared exactly what the mod is though... I see no harm in that since it is public record to this day on metro...
Steve
That's basically what I'm saying
Mark (Rockstah)posted all the information on the Metro site, so If someone was smart enough to pay attention then No harm no foul . If he is going to get pissy about it, then he really does not have a leg to stand on as he is to blame for leaking the info. You can't share stuff freely and then get pissed off at people for using the information just because one day you decide to charge money for it IMHO.
Just a FYI, He most definitely posted a picture of the MOD 5 either directly or indirectly. He used to have links to all of his tweaks posted in his signature on Metroamp. If you ever clicked on any of the numerous pictures that he posted links to, it was there plain as day.Or you could go to his sig and click on Rocktah tweaks and mods and bam.... There they were.
Id gather he has since taken them down.
With all this said, I still think that he will make money with the mod because not all of us are handy. If I wanted that sound, Id send Mark my amp in a heartbeat, but there are so many other amps out now that I feel cover that tone, that there is no need for me to and I'm kind of done with that sound......... (only at this point in time... That could change in the future LMAO
)
Funny, he was busting your balls for this. I saw a thread on TGP where he was begging for a gut shots of a Cameron. When the person refused, he was saying how people helped each other out on the Metro forum, that it's no secret, and on and on. The when it come to his mod (or whatever), it's a big secret and wouldn't give up the goods.

Well then, allow me to give up the "secret":
1) buy a stock 12 series super lead or equivalent
2) convert the preamp to 2203 spec (cascade the first two stages, put a 10k on the second stage instead of the 330u/820)
3) lower the filtering (40uF mains, 16uF screens, 16uF PI, dual 32uF preamp.)
4) put in a LarMar PPIMV
5) Dime the preamp gain and master you now have and adjust the PPIMV to taste for overall volume....
Congratulations, you're browned for about $20-30 in parts and some soldering time + the cost of the stock Marshall or Metro you bought... In general this will work with any Super Lead style amp 100 or 50 watt - you're just doing a 2204 cascade on a 50 watt...
As I said, thisinfo is in a thread at metro to this day, so I feel I am doing nothing wrong by posting this. It is public record...
Steve
I'd leave it alone or send it to Friedman.
