I did it bro. Sounds pretty damn good. Needs more gain though, maybe a few more tweaks. Sounds damn good and punchy. The sweep isn't as gradual as I'd like but it sounds good. With a pedal pushing it will go insane.


woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The rockstahand50otherguysonthemetroampsforum PPIMV. Sounds excellent! Im going to slam the front end today and see how she does. It does sound good but I want to hear it over the top and begging for it's life.

Variation of the KF PPIMV. It sounds damn good bro. I'll take a pic of mine later today and send it to ya.
 
awesome bro!! Glad its wrked out for ya!

I gutted my JCM800 earlier this weekend, and im replacing the PCB with a Metroamp PTP kit. I will be wiring it up as a stock 2204 but im gonna replace the master volume with the Jose master! Should be interesting to hear the difference :)

Why wouldn't you just add the Jose Master? Then you have two types of master to mix... From the Metroamp board:

"I think the best overall way to achieve these guy's sound, is to do Rockstah's 2203 mod. Basically a plexi that gives up the section of v1 that was used for the low input, and now uses it to instigate 'overdrive', by means of a potentiometer. This is basically a 2203 Master Volume amp now. The real cool thing is adding a ppimv to it. This uses v3, and also uses a pot. You dime both the regular volume [Gain], and the Master volume,but the ppimv, now controls the 'loudness'. It's like an attenuator sorta. You now have that "not enough gain, sorta 70's hard rock sound" with the 2203 style MV, along with the distorting power tube type vibe of the ppimv when the amp volume is cranked. Like a 'double shot' of gain, at very low volumes. Check out Rockstah's thread "2203 mod", I think its called, in the EVH topics."

Hey Steve!

Well basically thats what you can do if you install a PPIMV in a 2203. But the Jose Master isnt a type of PPIMV, its a pre tone stack Master Volume.. as opposed to the stock master which is post tone stack. I could try keeping the stock one and using the Jose too, but i think it may just sound better using only the Jose master! I guess the only way to know is to try, which i will do then :)

I did the PPIMV before and kept the stock master, but i never liked the PPIMV.. it just wasnt working out tonally how i wanted thats all. Mark Camerons clip of the Jose master on the other hand.... well lets just say i was very impressed!!! :rock: :worship: :rawk:
