This is a work in progress, but as I posted in the main forum, this started out as a trainwreck that I bought years ago. Board was burned up pretty bad, and had a ton of mods that just sounded awful sounding (some were ok to be honest, but implemented poorly). I deconstructed it back to stock form, replaced a few pots, and started cloning a Friedman modded JCA20H I'm selling back to my buddy.
Again, still a work in progress, but here's the gut shots of it fully functional. Right now I'm in the middle of upgrading the OT, and next phase is cleaning up the board best I can and re-doing the work I did to make it more aesthetically pleasing and doing it right. This is just to test functionality. Will be using quite a bit of heat shrink on the raised components. Not bad for really a few bucks in parts. I'm certainly no pro at this, but I'm happy with the progress so far.
Resources were a BE100 schematic I found online, the host amp which Dave modded himself, and parts of a mod tutorial from Edge11 from the GGF fourm.
Gut shot
SAT switch (Jose diode clipping)
YUCK
Gain pot moved after 2nd gain stage (wired under the board with cut traces for now)
