Welcome to your own Rig Talk sub-forum Jeremy!

Folks, if there's anything "random" you'd like to ask him, here might be the place to do it. :thumbsup:

I'll start:
So Jez (that's what we'd call you in Oz mate), please tell us how this all came about bro'... if you like. :dunno: :LOL:
 
Thanks man! Honored to be part of the sub forum…

I was really wondering what Jez meant so I’m glad you explained that. I thought your keyboard was broken 🤣

My mission was simple - like a lot of us, I had bought and sold almost every amp out there chasing “that” tone. But they all fell short in one way or another. I’m pretty OCD about tone. So I started modding my own Marshalls and was getting some good results. Other guys who heard them felt the same and started commissioning me to do their amps as well.

Things have come a long way since that initial stage of modding. I always try to stay innovative and listen to the player’s needs. I feel like feedback is the most important aspect and provides the basis for improvement to better suit the player’s needs.

My two main offerings are the MOAB modded Marshalls and the ground-up build Hellion. I’ll be posting some more on the details of each and what they offer feature-wise. I get so many questions about that. This sub forum will be really helpful. I can direct people here for all that info.

I like the Tightness switch GZ does, My buddy has a Hellion and has it sounding great and wondering if something like that would help with the low mids on my 2nd CH

I just happen to have an MZero here right now. Local owner wants it tightened up. I also made the channels switchable without needing the foot switch. It starts on Overdrive instead of the Drive channel. Pulling the bass knob switches it from Overdrive to Drive. A lot more convenient.

The amp is really loose in stock form. I did my SLO mod to it, since that’s technically what it is. But it was still too loose. No clank at all. I had to pull more bass out of it to get it as tight as the SLO. Sounds really killer. Gets that cab knock on chugs now. No more flub. Still has plenty of low end. I also doubled the range of the Feedback control.

I love this, and need it in my life, from the lights to the white knobs to that Clanky Chug wow Impressive, and sounded so good when backed off the vol wow

Killing it man, killing it! I'd love to try one of these Mezza with your mod. The Hellion is sick and the amp I've owned the longest out of the many many amps to come through here and I suspect the Tremo Dual you modded that I picked up a while back will stick around for record time as well.

Thanks brother. This amp definitely came to life!

The LED’s were added by someone else. But yeah, this brings the clank now. There was absolutely no clank beforehand. This amp is very much an SLO circuit but it’s got carbon composite resistors throughout so the sound is even more “vintage” and less tight.
