Or Jet City disguised as a Soldano :LOL:

It arrived today! I haven't had a chance to try it yet. It has the depth mod, saturation switch, and mid boost switch. It looks like it had a pot in the back at some point because there's a hole in the chassis. I'm assuming it was a depth pot.

HNAD! Sent the Friedman packing hey?

...you going to go Psyco(Dave) on this one?
 
Happy NAD :rock:
I have the same amp.
These are pretty cool mod platforms for the $$.
Mine has been SLO -a-fied.
I hate the depth mod in SLO's ( not needed ) but it helps with the tone of the EL84's in these amps.
Any idea what was done to your amp or what the 2 switches do?
A gut shot or 2 would be cool too.

I'm not sure the Psyco mod was designed around this model.
I think it's for the single channel 20H, not the 22, so not sure if it would drop right in without a little re-jigging.

I will definitely be pulling the chassis to see exactly what was done. I'll post pics when I get the time.
 
Man I wish I still had mine. I loved it but sold it when I got and EVH...if I had it now I would have modded the shit out of it
 
I had some time tonight to fire it up. Overall, I like it. It definitely has a ton of gain. More than I'd ever need. It came with Mesa el84's. 2 JJ's in v1 and b2. Chinese the rest. It has a ton of bass! I had the bass down to 1 to be where I like it. I'm not sure if that's a product of the depth mod. I'm not a fan of the sat switch. It drops the volume a ton and gives more gain than I'll need. I'm not exactly sure what the other switch is doing, but I'm not a fan. But overall, I like the character of the amp. I'm sire with a few tweaks, I'll get it exactly where I want it

Here's some gut shots.

put a pot back on the depth mod for sure, the bass being on 1 but the depth is at 1000

I thought that. I guess I'm currently getting all of the bottom end? The pot would let me dial that back?
 
unclip that cap and attach the wire to the same spot and it will be alot better for now
