You are awesome! I know already that one problem will be me not realizing I interrupted the flow when I did the second mod by NOT replacing c6 or c15. Amazing what you miss when you dont know what to look for. I have a multi meter and will check values at those critical points a Bnd replace my...

Figures! I have no output but do have a very slight hum that is barely audible. I looked over all my joints and all looks OK. Could it have anything to do with my previous volume/tone control mod?

Very nice! I was seriously considering trying to install a gain pot now in addition to the volume and tone. Im looking over the old posts and studying the layout of the amp and sounds/looks fairly simple to put one in. This is an awesome learning platform! I will keep reporting my progress in...

Hmmm...it showed three pics as uploaded now they are gone.... Great way to introduce myself! LOL

Doing this Frankenstrat project to donate at silent auction. Proceeds go to the Epilepsy Awareness Foundation. I am not hawking donations! A few years ago I was disabled due to a seizure disorder and picked up a guitar to pass the time. Literally brought me out of the darkest time of my life so...

Going to remove op amp per your instructions around post #160 or so. Wish I would have been doing this when the topic was fresh but here goes another question... will the op amp removal adversely affect the volume/gain mod. I'm looking at the board and my untrained eye says no but wouls hate to...

Huge thanks!

Thanks guys! I'm not afraid to add a resistor or change the entire pot. I did this after practicing on junk toys and have since installed a Keeley type mod in my DS-1 and "true" bypassed my CryBaby. Turns out a friend of mine is really good at soldering and gave me some great pointers so now my...

Quick question about the sweep of the volume pot. I have done the above mod and now would like to know if there is a to slow down the sweep of the volume pot. This little dude is loud! Friend of mine uses my Cube 30x when he comes over and the 5watt tube is every bit as loud as the Roland. The...

Sorry for the the post earlier, I was on a different account. The tone/volume mod is super easy and just what I needed. I am just learning the finer points of soldering and was a bit leery of the PCB board due to the small parts and all that. Well it went real easy with exception of clearing out...

Hey there! Thank you for giving me options to look into and thank you for the welcome.

I introduced myself a moment ago in the newbie section. Got this amp free on a trade with an Emminence Legend and JJ tubes. Really want to do this simple mod first, has anyone completed it yet? This is my first tube amp and it was free so what the heck right? I only have one question, would a...

This sight keeps coming up while I continue my never ending Google search for knowledge so I figure I would take a closer look :) Just a bit about myself for any who like looking at this section and of course for those MUST! lol I was disabled almost four years ago at the ripe old age of 35...
