Op amp near in, needing MJMP to check some emails I sent him first to make sure I'm installing it right.  Not long to go now.

Just a cap and a resistor.

MJMP Kindly gimme some extra electrolytic caps for my tube board.  I will install this at a different time.  Just want to finish noise mod 2 first of all.  MJMP am I doing the "Big Noise mod"?

When you play the game of mods, you do the mods completely or you die. There is no middle ground  :metal: :metal:

So diode in and unit tested.

here is what I said to MJMP

Quote
Right tested.

No weird noises.  I'm not gonna lie, didn't notice anything major in noise loss.  Personnally didn't think it was noisey to begin with.

What I did notice, straight away was the patch that I had initially set before I started modding was at 7.5 on each OD.  The OD1 clipping light was lighting up occasionally as it should.  Where as as soon as I put in MDRT is overloading like crazy, and now after the test for noise mod, it's lighting up even more so, so I shall have to adjust it.

Other things I noticed, it sounds mega touch sensitive, but this could be because the gain trim pot needs adjusted.  It feels really compressed.  The OD1 seems to distort completely different to the way it did before.  And it just generally sounds different.  I liked it before, now it's like a steroid using body builder.

What will modding the tube board do since these are the true final steps?

I am pleased I've done this mod, but I probably will need to reprogram and get the "Gerry" sounds.  Currently it's oozing "I think I'm a marshall, I think I'm a marshall" type tones lol

Perhaps with the trim pot adjusted I'll noticed it being quieter.

What does replacing the caps on the tube board do for the sound?
