I hope it will go without saying that NOT changing the tone or original vision for the amp is absolutely paramount! And is the reason that myself, Dave and other uniquely qualified people are involved in this project.
The changes are practical things, like how parts mount, locations for things that will reduce noise, exposing parts that might have to be serviced down the road and also making the amps more consistent.
If you use the Friedman Brown Eye as an example you'll see that I designed a chassis from scratch that would suit the design and allow for more efficient manufacturing. There were no trade-offs tonally what so ever. In fact, the amps are arguably more consistent now, not to mention the wait time is reduced to mere days or weeks.
The same high standards and dedication to tone apply on the CCV and all other amps we produce for our friends in North Hollywood.
