My other guitar player has a vintage modern and i would love to make it sound better. Anyone have plans or schematics they can send me to improve the tone and put it into high gain territory?
I've played a VM a couple of times and didn't care for it but IF I were to get a VM, I would 100% either buy one already modded by Mike or have him mod it. Those clips sound killer.
there's this thing called the dumpster mod, it involves you throwing the amp in a dumpster while your other guitar isn't around .... hahah i always thought the Vintage Modern sounded like dog ass...
I hate it but the dude doesn't have the funds to get something else right now and i would like to have my amp back. Its something that I would like to do as a project and just wanted to know any of you had plans or what not.
No reason why you can't get a good tone out of the VM. It's actually a very good amp and fairly easy to dial in. The only thing I felt it lacked was that air push, and thump in the chest. The tone is there, but that Marshall thump is missing. I bet the Fortin mod could fix that.
Or, on the cheap, get him to run a Suhr Riot pedal through the clean. Problem solved! That pedal is incredible on clean channels. It's a rare pedal that sounds and feels like amp distortion.
Unlike some others here I love the VM. I boost it with a Barber Direct Drive. I had mine slightly modded and all the detail can be found at the link above.

Thanks.. I tried going through the maze that is that forum and couldn't find anything other than questions. I will put a post up there and see what comes back.
If there was a place here that sells a riot, I would try it out. Thanks everyone.
