Turning a JCM800 2204 into a better 2205

Hey Guys,

This amp left me a while ago but I just now got around to uploading the demo of it...
It is an old 83 Marshall JCM800 2204 that was modded with a clean channel by Reußenzehn back in the day.
The 2204 circuit was almost untouched except for two voicing switches.

The guy bought the amp recently and didn't like how it sounded, so he sent it to me to improve things.
We discussed different options including a Jose mod and in the end landed on my own Hot Chili circuit + improving the clean channel.
Since I didn't like how the clean channel was done at all, I completely ripped it out and put in a Fender/Dumble style clean with volume, gain, treble, middle, bass + bright and mid switches.
I also added a tube fx loop and completely redid the ground scheme of the amp.

Here's how the amp arrived with the Reußenzehn mod
