Here is a video of the amp. Testing my new Fortin Zuul.

I watched your vid. Does it have the standard Ceriatone insert loop or a metro loop?
Not sure why someone would want or need to use a pedal in front of a High Gain Jose circuit but your answers are listed below. Feel free to email me harddriver.
I removed the loop board as it was noisy (LOUD HUM) when engaged. I worked with it a bit but could not resolve the issue so I removed it and installed the prior series "Injection loop"/non buffered. Works well with powered Rack Effects and Pedals as long as the loop cords are not 30" long. This explains the "empty hole" as it was the "Bypass switch".
I bought the amp second hand from a guy a month after he received it from Ceriatone. I should have disputed the transaction due to the loop board issue. He was a smart ass saying go ahead that he would be out of Country on tour so the $ would be tied up etc. I decided to proceed to mod the amp to the circuit you hear in the attached video. I know that Splatter opened the chassis and removed heat shrink from a set of lower voltage zener's (In an attempt to prove I did not mod the amp + I believe he still missed some mods) I installed to meet schematic requirements I acquired straight from the original High Gain Designer that Fortin and Gower "borrowed" from. As for anything else that may have been dicked with I don't know but it rips in my video and when it left my bench.
I am not certain if I sent the original board with the amp to the buyer (ZR4400) who sold the amp to Splatter since I have modded/repaired 100+ amps since then.
Attached is a video of the Amp after I modded it closer to High Gain Specs through one of my UK V30 412 Cabs.
No denying it "at that time" sounded great with my guitar and set up. Recorded live on a IPhone.
If a potential buyer is interested then Email me at
New_Religion@Live.com then I will give you my number to speak to on the phone in depth.
Modded when it left my bench. I know Splatter dug into it so I have no idea of the current circuit. Not a Poke, just a fact, I don't know what has been touched since I modded the amp.
I have actually embedded 2 video's of the same mod to credit my authenticity and consistency of the modded circuit changes. 2 different IPhone's, cabs and proximity to consider.
It was a cool amp and again, it sounded great when it left my bench.
Peace out, David Hopkins aka New Religion...♫
